What model of scoob have you got at the moment ?

This is no different than using 99 ron fuel with octane booster...so you should be fine...safer if anything

Just makes me wonder who they think is going to spend that sort of money when fuel prices are already at a record high!!!

Stop making expensive fuel and find a way to make better fuel cheaper. Just want the b***ards to stop ripping us off!!!

Who's that, the fuel manufacturers or the Government.

I bet Flash Gordon is rubbing his hands at the high price of crude - more schekels in his pocket

Default Who bought it???

No snooker on telly, so as I was bored - finally got round to reading the car bits in the Sunday papers & saw that The Times one has a bit about this new fuel and quotes that at the Newbury Centre in Ilford (apparantly one of six forecourts in SE England selling it) an Impreza filled up with the new fuel....

Was it an ESC member????

He bought £15 worth so probably got him to Seven Kings!!

I'm tempted to fill up with it for Saturday morning RBMR from Bluewater to Lakeside (NOT all the way to Prodrive!!) just to see if it makes a difference. I'm picking my Godson up from Maidstone (is it a sign? I grew up in Ilford too is that another sign??)

See you all Saturday day or night (delete as applicable)

Im tempted to give it a try but doubt @ that price i would fill the spec'C' up for a track day... only get 60/70 miles to a tank as it is without it costing £100+ to fill up....

Gotta be a publicity gimmick more than anything (ie ours is higher than Shell's)

At that price it is a lot cheaper to get a tankfull of Optimax and a botle of actane boost

Fair play to them though, at least they are making an effort.
What with this and Tesco's 99 RON hopefully Shell will start using their 100 RON stuff in this country soon
