The lower fuel has the spark timing pulled back a bit.

I heard that the fuel Co. are raising the octaine of our fuels from 92/96 to 96/98. this will bring it inline with the Japanese fuel, so that their imports won't have to be retuned for our market.
Acording to power chip australia the car has been de-tuned for saftey with lower grade petrol. basically making the engine idiot proof, there argument is that by advancing the timing and using a 98 or higher ocane fuel our svx will pull 336 Nm of torque and 184 KW, and for AUD $890 i think it is a fairly good gain for the price (asuming it does all that it claims)
