It was more responsive and the occasional hestitation experienced with (because of?) the lower octane stuff was absent. Also absent was the engine managament light which has been on for a while due to the sports cats throwing a warning about lamda sensors bank 2 or whatever. So that was a plus too. and its stayed off.

The trouble with being a cynic is that you always take the view that some b@st@rd is trying to screw you and that all marketing/advertising is evil. I take the comedian Bill Hicks' point of view on this.
Now that would be an interesting claim to run past legal "also cures engine management light issues"

Glad it's working out for you - us marketers aren't all full of hot air you know...some of us genuinely love what we make and want to spread the gospel! I wouldn't pay the premium if I didn't believe in it
