Deffo noticed the difference a few tanks full of BP ultimate makes to cold idling and general feel to the car.

Bigger gains are to be had with F/I engines, thats the main reason.

Ah, but no reason not to use it in an N/A application?
I think it's great, costs less, "saves the planet" and gives more power.

The engine I am converting is a N/A, but it will be more desireable to use in F/I because of the gains though. Seen some cars in America with a 30-40bhp increase (not a standard engine, it was already producing 400bhp).
Saab have released Flex-Fuel car, when ran on E85 it produces 180bhp instead of 150bhp. Its definately a fuel we will be using more commonly in the near future.

Think about how much petrol is used, they 0.1's are nothing to us but millions to the fuel companies.

had anyone else heard that we have payed £4 billion too much for our fuel last year. Not as in tax i mean the country was buying the fuel at more than the actual cost of a barrel of oil or whatever. So the gov are getting credited the money, but dont expect to see it.
i heard this from a RHA bloke who came into see my dad and he said that the trucks should be striking soon so we get that £4billion back.
