102 fuel

[lukeeddy]

in germany this is available from the pump would it be worth it over the 98 ?

not unless your car is mapped for it.. as standard its 95-98 its mapped for..

Because the Clio has a knock sensor it should be able to take advantage of higher octane unleaded, though 102RON is a lot higher than normal so I am not certain the timing could be advanced that much.

BP used to have 102 at the pump in a few locations but it was over 2.50 a ltr

mixed answers there its made by aral a german fuel company but interestingly shells v power racing 100 costs more, i get fuel tax free so its just under 1 euro a litre not looking forward to comin back to england espically with the clio mpg

If only 102 Ron was a available here with a better price tag!

theres one way to find out......

probably have to run it on it for a while to clear the tank and lines etc of the "cheap" stuff :001_rolleyes:

as for the ability to advance the timing far enough....it will only go so far before its counter productive

Give it a go!

102 octane fuel will lose it's RON over a few months, just bear in mind if you store the car for long periods.
