Yes, just became available here in Bris..finally. Supposed to be ULP98 +10%E. Not sure on the actual quality just yet, but runs really well in a high compression FTO n/a, but then so does the 91 plus (95). Currently running some in the 2 to see how if performs. All I can tell you at this stage is it will not hold the ign curve on my 30%E/98 maps but out performs the 98ULP maps. I'd suggest someone try it on a stock ECU with an added 2deg initial timing.

I can get it near me. Haven't tried it yet and wa a little cautious as I'm not running stock ecu and my tuning was done on bp98. Would be interesting to see a direct comparison as I don't want to start knocking.

Yes agreed., tho it shouldn't come close to knocking on a ULP98 tune, with the 10%E added. I've always been a bit skeptical about United fuel, but as I said, their ULP plus seems consistant, and performs well in n/a's.
I'll know a bit more when I take it out on the training track on sunday hopefully. I'll add a bit of timing into the 98 tune.

"I've always been a bit skeptical about United fuel"
don't the independent servos get supplied from the major oil companys?
might try some in my daily driver and see if theres any difference.
let us know with the results MuMan.

So has anyone got any results with this fuel in a 3SGTE running the factory ECU? or in any turbo motor?
I've just confirmed a United servo close that has it (Airport) and I'm keen to try it out. One guy on the Rex forums reckons its "nectar of the Gods".

lol yep from all accounts though, I've only heard good things compared to running just 98, and its apparently cheaper! :P

^Alex I've heard other guys tuning on this and getting a fair bit more power compared to a 98 tune. IF your ECU can run a dual tune, can't see why you can't have the best of both worlds?
If this is as good as people say it is, I'd never use straight 98 again unless I REALLY had to.

I might get my car tuned on this fuel and regular 98. Is there anything i have to do to my fuel system?

Well it ran E10 for quite a while (have an "experimental thread log" about it) and have no probs no far. I alternate between 98 and E10 now cos 98 is closer to me and carbon deposits = higher compression. When prices spike I def go E10 lol
I calculated saving about $200 if I go E10 for a year compared to 98 and I only cover 7k to 10k km a year
Might go back to updating the log on fuel economy between 98 and E10

Short answer - No, anything up to 10%E will be perfectly fine.
