    Heres a teaser, use 98ron petrol because it burns slower which will allow you to advance your timing to give you better fuel economy and a slight improvement in performance

    Can I do that with my ZD30 too George? I'm always looking for performance improvements for the engine.

    Would this be a break even cost-wise do you reckon? Or does the extra $$ of the 98 RON offset any economy gains?
