Default United Petrol - Boost 98 and Plus ULP 10% Ethanol

Just wondering if anyone else has tried the new petrol that United Petrol have released containing 10% ethanol.

They have released Boost 98 (98 octane) and Plus ULP (94 octane). The benefits of containing 10% ethanol means it is cheaper for them to make and cheaper to buy from the servo (I think Boost 98 was about $1.10 a litre when I filled up on the weekend). Ethanol is also meant to be better for the environment and also a natural octane enhancer.

So far I've done 150kms running Boost 98, I usually always run BP Ultimate and my ignition timing is fairly advanced. Impressions so far is there is no pinging or any other problems with it and performance and economy wise so far I can't tell any difference compared to BP Ultimate.

So has anyone else tried it.. any other opinions/results?
