Not sure if it has been posted this week, but there is a thread on Pistonheads about a fuel test conducted for Autoexpress (using a well known Pistonheaders Rolling Road).
Tests were conducted using an Astra VXR and a Polo 1.2, to find out what affect the various grades of fuel had on BHP figures. Apparantly the Astra (A Vauxhall Press Car) could only put out a mximum of 221bhp at the fly.wheel.

On page 3 of the article the owner "vixpy1" is suggesting that Vauxhall are either telling porkys or that the car is not very well. Personally I would have thought another option to consider would have been his rolling road not being set up properly?
Anyone else have any thoughts?
