not conclusive at all, even on a dyno dynamics machine (which are probably the most accurate over consecutive runs for repeatability) you will see variations between each run similar to that.

Aye, guess so

I also read about a K series engine that was tested with these "octane/power boosters"
Most did nothing and some reduced peak power

My Golf GTI only liked BP ultimate or V-Power/Optimax... it hated Tesco 99-ron stuff and seemed to love the BP Ultimate
