Thanks for the info JB
100 doesn't necessarily mean it's 100% good. RON doesn't represent fuel quality or energy content. It's simply how resistant it is to premature detonation in the chamber. Hell, 100% ethanol (E100) has 113RON. Try running that in your car.
fraak that.. will give it 1 more tank then go from there, (back to BPU)
cheers
