Can any of the popular ecu upgrades (for a 9-5 2.3 lpt) be run using 95-octane unleaded? None of my usual petrol haunts sell Super-UL and the local Shell charges a fortune for Optimax (and indeed, all their fuel, the Shell over by St Albans on the M25/M1 jubction sells their Optimax for less than the local 95 retails for).
I believe the Trionic is clever enough to stop any pinking but would that negate the power gains.
