What's the best fuel to use.

I was under the impression it was super unleaded, is this right or am I way off the mark?

Cool

Min 95 ron

It will run better on 97+ron (Super Unleaded)

If its PPP 97+ ron is almost essential


I use Optimax not noticed any real difference over Super Unleaded but the girl at the Shell garage is a real babe

Thanks Phil but Southend is a long way to fill up - even to see the babe.

Super unleaded seems hard to come by in the North West though, not many garages seem to sell it anymore

Have tried Optimax but wasn't that impressed still using UL,cant notice that much differance on SUL to justify the cost.
