Question

Well i've finally managed to get myself a scoob.

http://secret.lab6.com/uploaded_files/1003096380.JPG

The car is a UK MY00PPP and I wondered if any of the peop's here have any experience of using 97 RON fuel (or higher) with this model? If so, which delivers best results for efficiency and power.

My local station is an Esso with 97 RON SUL but I do pass a Shell garage on my way to work? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Cool

I started using Optimax in my MY00 PPP as soon as it became available. The car is definitely much smoother than with 'ordinary' SUL, and I noticed the improvement almost straight away.

I haven't used NUL since getting the Prodrive kit. Before the upgrade, however, I didn't notice much difference with NUL at speed, but the car was very rough at low revs compared to SUL. So I always used Super.

Use Optimax if you can, it's worth it.

Andy.
