I use PULP. For me, it means i can drive up to the servo and wack in BP98 (best up this way) and drive/race.
And no bottles of "magic" in the tank either.

Question:

Are you seeking clarification on the acronym PULP or are you looking for clarification on the concept of what is puMp fuel?

Thread title and first post appear to be inconsistent.
