My engine is very familiar with its rev limit (has to be, those bloody particulate filters don't work if you drive like 'flat cap'), but it still chucks smoke out like a good 'un with other fuels. The V-Power fuel gives almost no smoke. So maybe pants to you, but a guranteed MOT pass for me!!! 
Can't believe it, but where I filled up two days ago, price has gone up again by a penny! |
they may not have a mechanical govenor but thet are govened on the rpm thay will rev to, by electronics! they will run far higher on thier own oil than there governed too, trust me seen it done it!!
when your doing a static regen and the pcm is holding 4500rpm and it then starts knocking and going over 5000 and you have the key in your hand............not good, certainly leaves a smell lol
