you'll find it in Inverness, easiest is the kessock roundabout. There is a filling station on the way OUT of Inverness. Just head into Inverness at the Kessock Bridge roundabout and go round the next roundabout and head back out. theres a station on your left.

You will have difficulty, there was rumour of there being a station on the west coast somewhere that had SUL, but other than that there is none available north of Inverness (excepting Beauly). I always took Octane Booster with me, you can buy OB from the station beside Lidel's (sp?) in Thurso, but was around £9 a bottle (an expensive lapse in memory on my part)

You can get SUL from Loch Sheil outside Wick suppossedly but other than that Beauly is the only other. Never mind it's only a 198 miles round trip for me. (possible i'm the most northern scoob on mainland britain, take a look on a map for THURSO if you want a chuckle!)

Question

Sandycam, since when? at Christmas they didn't (trust me I did try) I know they did a long while back, but they stopped stocking it as they did not get enough sales to warrant having it I'd be delighted if they have started stocking it again, but I can't see why they would.

Sorry mate i might be wrong then as i was told it by a couple o evo6 drivers a couple a months back. I do use it unless i'm in Inveness as petrol is a silly price here without buying fancy stuff.

Most garages in the Highlands do SUL so don't worry too much about it. The garage at Ullapool does it but further north than that it's a little more tricky.
