Chris_911 Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 So, after getting some fuel this morning at my usual Esso station I need to find a cheaper solution to their E5 Supreme Unleaded. It's a whopping 35p per litre more than their unleaded. I remember when the difference for the 'super' rules was more like 7p per litre. 35p is mad! So who is using fuel additives? I have a bottle of Millers EPS, but am also interested in whether anyone is using a detergent and/or and octane booster on a regular basis?

Type911 Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 I thought Supreme was zero? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swift911 Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 I’ve used this for years. I can only go off what it says on the bottle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zerotosixty2 Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 I understand the use of an octane booster, the main reason I have avoided 95 at all costs is the 10% ethanol content. Does the octane booster somehow negate the corrosive effects and rubber destroying effects of E10 too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ethanol itself is a higher octane 'fuel' than petrol so its inclusion in the mix actually boosts the octane rating. The issue is that it isn't as energy dense as petrol and also the corrosive effects. Millers, for example, markets both an ethanol 'protection' product, which doesn't affect octane rating, and an all-in-one product that offers ethanol protection and an octane booster. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
