What do you mean, "we don't have ethanol", Brian?
I could have sworn that the rubbish I put in the car is E10.    *smile* *smile*

Fortunately where I live Trev there are only a couple of service stations that sell the E10 stuff, no one buys it though.

I guess its something we will have to face in the future.

I run all my bikes on the 98.

Boost it to 105, Muskrat, how do you manage that, pray tell  *smile*
If its viable then that would be an alternative to buying 98, just buy 91 and boost it!

G'day Jules.
 Don't tell anyone *shh*. It works out expensive, a $25 bottle treats 60 Lt, so that's $2.17 a liter mixed  *eek*. It's not too bad in the BSA's but my rHonda only gets 10 Km/Lt. Nulon Pro Strength Octane Boost 8 ml/Lt, then my special mix of methanol, acetone and castor. *eek*. People often say their eyes water when their behind me too close. *bash*

This is what I use. It turns ordinary unleaded pump fuel into genuine leaded petrol. It has been available in the UK for a long time and it's now available in Australia, France, Denmark, and the Republic of Ireland.You can boost your unleaded petrol up to 106 octane leaded.    http://tetraboost.com/info/  I buy super market (Tesco) 99 octane unleaded and add it to that.

making my eyes water just thinking about it Muskrat!
Thanks for the alternative suggestion John, just looked it up on web, no distributor in Australia listed, so just emailed an enquirey BUT it seems expensive although its not clear on the site what the cost/bottle/litre actually is........

Don't think there's much wrong with Castrol Valvemaster Plus (unless you know different of course)
