Re: Octane Boost V70-XC70 97

Hi, I have a V70 AWD 97 and use 99 octane gas, because itīs sulfur free and the performance seems to be better on german highways in the high speed range. Top speed is with winter tires about 235 km/h.

With 95 octane petrol acceleration is worse and top speed is about 230 km/h. I think the higher the octane level the better - if you really need it. There does not be a difference at moderate speeds, even not in milage.
