Default Total Excellium Fuel


Never thought of using this fuel but it's got good write ups here. Anyone else tried it?

I used it once in my TVR .... it really didn't like it - once back to V Power all was OK. Maybe I was just unlucky and got a bad tank.

TBH though I have not normally noticed any difference with all the different Super Unleaded's in normally aspirated cars ...... Turbo's however are a different story and seemingly more able to adjust noticeably with higher octane fuel. My Prodrive mapped Scooby definitely went better on 99 octane - with the S2K I can't tell any difference between 99 and 97. I buy V Power for the allegedly better cleaning properties (and the fact the Shell station is all of about 1/4 miles from me )
