Yeah I would have liked to hear Nick's input on the whole thing too. And I'm surprised they didn't test Tesco's Momentum99 as that has the highest RON of them all. Also surprised they didn't test normal shell fuel alongside the V-power and normal esso fuel alongside their super unleaded.

And I really like the GT-86, looks great and seems like the coupe to have at the moment.

Not really a true representation of 'super fuels' in my opinion.  The results didnt show the biggest gains of 13bhp and 13lbft and the figures would be totally different on anything modified/remapped.

Yes you 240bhp edition 30 might make its quoted figures on normal 95 fuel, but they designed for that octane/ron rating....however, remap it with fine tolerences, i dare bet the figures would be very different.

I too would of also liked to see momentum on there, but under different test conditions....the test they did proved nothing IMHO.
