Its V-Power with Ethanol to bring the Octane up to 100. Only one servo in my area sells it and its waaay out of my way so haven't tried it - but other WRX owners reckon their cars run rougher when they fill up with it. *shrugs*

Cany see it being any good unless the car's been mapped to run 100ron fuel, I think it's quite big in japan.

Any idea on the price of it??

there is a few threads about it already floating around here from memory.


my findings were it gave more but better if tuned for it, and not worth the xtra cash it cost to get it.

when it first came out it was only 7cpl more exxy then the 98 stuff now its 20cpl more exxy and the servo near me has the price fixed no matter if the normal stuff is on the high or low price cycle still the same price and 2 weeks ago that was 166cpl
