The rumor about optimax's shelf life, is it true?
Does this apply to all SUL (97+) petrols or is it just a shell thing?
What sort of timescale, days, weeks.. months?

Is there a specific % gain per octane rating point? I Guess it depends upon the ammount its compressed?

You edited the title you git !!!
It just said "I will answer any questions" before, I didn;t know it was just about petrol
OK, how much petrol could an average sized gerbil consume before it was sick?

I run normal 95 unleaded in my S1 and she goes well. However, I keep hearing all these things about Optimax. Some general questions, an idiots guide if you will (!)
Why does Optimax give more power ? How ?
Does my car need to be set up to run Optimax and gain a power increase ?
Thanks !!
