SUL has a higher RON rating which means it is more resistant to detonation than UL. optimax has a higher still RON rating.

UL 95
SUL 97
opti 98-98.6 RON

the higher the RON the more advance you can run on your timming, the more boost you can run and the more power you will get because of it

most engines are desgined to run on a specifi RON for maximum efficency/power

eg mine is meant to run on 98 RON, but can run on the others as the knock sensor will retard the timing

I used to test petrol, Diesel + Aviation fuel when I worked at BP

I also helped to commission the cleaner Diesel, by researching the sulphur content before it went on sale

Kerry, 95ron will be fine in your car, 97 will just cost more££ with no actual benifits to the car
