They are trying to do away with lead replacement petrol (LRP) and need something that will work like old 4 star. LRP was 97ron. Real 4 star was 98ron. A lot of family sized cars needed 4 start to run properly, then the next thing they did was take the lead out and make it 95ron, and family cars lost their performance because the timing had to be retarded. -- "Sorry Sir, the meatballs are Orf" The poster formerly known as Skodapilot. http://www.bouncing-czechs.com

If you car is equipped with knock sensors and a multimap programme then you will benefit from optimax etc, in my dads 240bhp Saab the difference is amazing, much smoother power and better fuel economy, my turbo Audi is better but its not as noticeable, although the fuel economy goes up quite a bit. A MX5 or any other NA engine car is designed for 91-95 fuel and you wont notice as much of a difference, but give it a try. It won't hurt

I believe LRP kills a Cat as fast as 4 star would (although>I could be wrong (but don't tell anyone I admitted that, I mean, this IS>Usenet!!).. It's worth realising that lead performs two functions, lubrication and octane booster. It lubricates by coating all metal surfaces in lead compounds that then prevent the surface from wearing or burning away. A cat works by coming into contact with the exhaust gases and once coated with lead or some other metal lubricant used as a replacement, has to be replaced to greenise the car again enough to pass the MoT. Octane number is different and is about how the mixture behaves in the cylinders. You can tune the car in various ways and the higher the octane, the more of the energy in the fuel you can get out, thus getting more power and more MPG from the same quantity of fuel. This boils down to: If your car can use higher octane fuel - and most can't - it can do higher MPG and be more sporty using it. If it can't, it's no different to regular unleaded, same MPG and same performance. If you have an older car, designed for four or five star fuel, it will currently be tuned down to manage on leaded, and will run much better on 100 octane fuel providing it is retuned for this type of fuel, and if you switch back to the regular stuff you can expect it to pink, knock, predetonate and therefore you would have to carry octane booster around in case you got caught short without the right sort of fuel. If the car needs leaded, it still needs leaded and 99 octane won't help it in that sense, although it might hasten its demise. In almost all cases with small / modern cars, you can run it on any unleaded fuel and it will make no difference,.

I believe LRP kills a Cat as fast as 4 star would (although> I could be wrong (but don't tell anyone I admitted that, I mean, this IS> Usenet!!).. The 99 Octane unleaded, is just harder to combust unleaded. LRP or leaded fuel will kill your Cat. This won't also will it make much difference to modern (French in my case) small cars? If you've upped the compression through a Skimmed head or advanced the timing so far you get knock, it will help. will it make a huge difference when I get an new model MX 5 (if I get it)? Is it an import model that should have been specced to run on 100 or 102 octane Jap unleaded? If so, it will run much better, if not, you might get a cleaner engine or slightly better economy. If you ECU can "learn" new fueling needs/capabilities after an ECU reset, you might find it advances the timing further to give a btter responce and punch when flooring it. -- "Sorry Sir, the meatballs are Orf" The poster formerly known as Skodapilot. http://www.bouncing-czechs.com

The traces of lead that are left in parts per million overnight might get onto the cat but since it is only spots and bits, it'll burn them off when it gets hot.
