I was under the impression that Optimax was just Shell's name for super unleaded. What's the difference between the 2 then? | |

My Dad uses it on his Porsche, it reccomends it in the manual, he sometimes uses super unleaded tho. | |

i'm unsure if does make a big differance but what i was trying to say was the optimax combined with the drilled air box has made a very noticeable diffeance to the car, acceleration seems smoother and more consistant and when the throttle is floored the car seems to pull better, (maybe its all just in my mind but id say the 2 mods are worth while) | |

I drive a corsa C Sri and have been really bored today and thought f@@k it, i'll drill a few holes in the air box (and while im at it might as add a free flow panel filter and cold air feed) anyway all went well and i thought "lets take it for a drive" untill i started the engine and low fuel light buzzed me!! |
