If it were me... I wouldnt run it on anything other than Optimax & OB until I'd done enough research to find out how well it would run on normal Optimax.

picked the car up last wednesday from bristol and drove it back to south wales.feels quite big compared to the scoob plus the steering felt a bit slow but wot a car 5 speed auto triptronic smooth as you like,traction control which is needed because it will wheel spin in the dry.there is also a switch for power and snow,power is for full power, to 80 mph the type r is quicker but from there up to 120 mph it's a toss up but from 120 mph up it is quicker but it is limited to 155.the snow button cuts the power right down i know this because i pressed it by mistake on the motorway friday on the way up to london when i was changing a song on the i pod the wife was driving she thought the car had broke down and panicked like hell.it does 90 on 3.000 rpm so is an excellent motorway cruiser i'll update wot it is like on the twisties when i can get the keys of the wife lol.
