Cafe Racer in StKilda?
The advice we received was that PULP in general was actually worse for your engine that ULP (due to the chemicals used to boost the octane). PULP would still eliminate any pinging and give the power boost the higher octane should, but only Optimax gave the octane boost with engine-friendly chemicals. In fact, the advice was that if Optimax was not available, use ULP and don't over-rev the engine (or use an Octane Booster) rather than using anothe PULP. This advice is a little dated, and I am hoping that the 8000 is an alternative to Optimax.
