Thumbs down

Good topic, probably a good test too but the way it has been reported in that article is very poor.

Reams of self marketing liberally sprinkled into the write up makes for very tough reading.

Yea its a bit of late review now that vpower is out. Would have been good to see how that did.

Hang on a minute - shock news! The highest octane fuel in the test gave the most gains. Completely pointless comparison.

Try it vs V-power then it would be worth a read.
