Default rolling road feature in fast ford

just going through fast ford and was reading the feature on the amd rolling road sessions. Mostly all of the results were a lot over the owners claimed results. I noticed some were using 99fuel but not all. Going back to the recent rolling road thread, is it worth using a rolling road for anything apart from helping to set your car up rather than bhp figures??

I think most owners have now cottoned onto the fact, not to make optimistic power claims, only to be shown up on the rollers!

Good point but some of them were 20- 30bhp lower with very precise mods which gives a good indication of power
