On my way to work around 7:00am this morning, the traffic was clear and I had already fixed a datalogger in my308 to record how fast could it sprint from stand still to 100km/hr using RON95 fuel in NORMAL Auto Mode. I just want to prove popular belief saying that "RON95 is no good for Peugeot 308 Turbo" is WRONG.
I stopped @ a layby for a few seconds before flooring the accelerator pedal until a gentle 'click' sound was heard. Despite of switching ON the Traction Control the front 225/45 R17 tyres still gave out promising 'sqeeking sound' and lose initial traction a bit.

I only needed 250m straight for the test - to floor the accelerator pedal on the first 150m and 100m to slow down safely. The road was not horizontal though, as there is a gentle slope-up at 30:1 gradient. But the lion with ample torque equivalent to a 2.4liter n.a power plant still managed to sprint from standstill to 100km/hr in 9.6 seconds even using RON95 in NORMAL Auto mode.
The test was repeated at the other straight stretch of the road. The result was almost persistant.
Part 2 - Century acceleration using RON95 in 'S' Auto Mode is coming next. Better result is expected.
