All propper fuel testing is done in labs etc. To many variables on the dyno. Top gear probably have Shell fuel cards to fill up on hahahaEnd of the day if your car is tuned on eg. bp altimate always going to run better then eg. Vortex or v powerIt was just a segment that TOP GEAR aired. The test were conducted independently away from TOP GEAR and ran on a dyno that where the wheel had to come off and the stud pattern bolted to the dyno for increased accuracy. The fuel was completely drained each fuel change and the car's ECU rest.I highly doubt that a premium 98 unleaded would cause any car to run like a "PIG", especially when Ferrari have put their name to it.

PfffttttWell my car(s) did run like pig(s) on v power but I have spoken to several people with wrx's and they've said the same thing. As for my white car she loved that stupid green sh*t at united with lower octane coz fowler is the sh*ttest tuner ever!!! Loleveryone's experiences vary, I dot use it coz I have had no positive experiences with it all negative.At the end of the day it's what engine runs better with is what you pick.For some that might be shell, for others it may not.
