Default Fg Xr6 Ultimate 98 Versus E10.

WELL YESTERDAY i filled the xr6 with premium ultimate 98 petrol . i have been using E10 for 5 fills and now have 2800kms on the clock.
i have gotten pretty much the same consumption per fill . at 575kms for 59-60 litres per fill.

1st reaction to ultimate in a stock car which can run on 91 RON is "what's all the fuss about" i can barely tell the differance, the engine sounds and runs the same , the car runs so well and performs so well on sh ity E10 , that seat of pants feel is hardly any differant .
i'll do a economy test and see if it is any better .
i can actually feel the differance in the GT between 95RON and 98RON
more power and perfect running .
this is a big statement
but the fgxr6 may just be blowing $$$ out of the exhaust running premium .
I guess the big picture may be engine longevity , however E10 hasnt been out long enough to compare cars being designed to run on it .
