    Yes i run bp ultimate / sainsburys 97 ron

    i feel there is a difference, theres a slight more pep when im hard out on the throttle from low to high rpm than if i have a tank of standard unleaded in. im getting a cleaner burn to and hopeful the adatives are helping to keep carbon deposits lower than they would build up
    also less risk of engine knock where fuel ignites before top dead centre due to heat/compression .
    from a total empty tank it costs around £7 to fill my to fill my 6.4lt tank

    I use it on the camero, and once in a while on the V4, but none of the other bikes.
    A scoot is cheap transport, why would you need to use higher octane fuel?
    In germany they do 100 octane, the V4 ran really good on that... :p
