Paul,
I am as amazed as you. I have checked everything and all seems to be
correct. The run was down (Ontario) Highway 401 and then 410, across
on the toll 407 to 400 and fini. Thus no stops, slow downs, or any
hold ups. Just 270km straight blast. My engine has about 6,000 km
on it and everything that rotates is new (or rebuilt) - but still it
is quite exemplary performance. Oh I did use 91 octane being the
highest at the pumps. I have another run on Thursday and I will see
what happens then !!!!
