The OTS 93 map is not for 93 Ron, it’s for 93 AKI (RON + MON / 2) used in the US. Despite what is commonly thought, there is no easy way to convert between the two without knowing both values.

Most European logs show that your premium / super fuel is better than US 93 AKI, but perhaps not if it’s degraded over 5 months...
V power 99 is equivalent to 92.5 aki (the Mon is 86).

I reckon it would have gone off if left that long. Take a long easy cruise and use it all up and get some fresh fuel.

Also, imo the BM3 stg2 91 map is really good on vpower! Much more low down torque and only loses out on the last 200 rpm up high, compared to stg2 93.

Also, I get regularly get a maf reading of 43.4lbs/min on the 91 map. The most I've seen on the 93 map (same fuel) is 43.3. So the power between the two is virtually identical (given that 1lbs/min = ~10bhp), but the torque is on another level with the 91 map.
