Riz Posted December 3, 2003 Report Share Posted December 3, 2003 I use it in my S3 and was wondering would it be wise to use it in the R32? Riz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisR32 Posted December 3, 2003 Report Share Posted December 3, 2003 Riz, There was a post about this on the VWVortex site and they seemed to think that it was a common miscnception and that octane boosters only gained something like 0.2-0.5 octane!

Riz Posted December 3, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2003 Mmmmm strange as on the bottle im pretty sure it increases the RON by 2 on a 50/55 litre fuel tank, i will re-check. Riz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisR32 Posted December 3, 2003 Report Share Posted December 3, 2003 That's the lines that the vortex thingy went along and this guy was saying that it was actually 0.2 RON - they measure it differently. But hey, it's an American site so maybe i didn't understand the lingo!! Only joking Gamma!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riz Posted December 3, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2003 I`ve read the bottle and is says it can increase the RON by up to 2 RON points. Now what are the points? 2.0 which will make 98RON to 99RON Or 0.2 which will make 98RON to 98.2RON Riz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisR32 Posted December 3, 2003 Report Share Posted December 3, 2003 Exactly!!! Maybe some-one out there can give us the definative answer............ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riz Posted December 3, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2003 Millers Oils - Octane Plus Even on their web site it doesnt make it any clearer but i would say it goes up by 2.0 and not 0.2 as whats the point if you put 95RON in and its supposed to make it equal as Super Unleaded... 97RON. So at the moment im running 99-100RON as suspected since i started using them from day one. Riz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gammaray27 Posted December 4, 2003 Report Share Posted December 4, 2003 No, I would agree with the .2 not 2. Those octane boosters wont do much except burn a hole in the wallet.
