Urgent advice on Petrol
 

Well Guys, yesterday i fitted an Origin Blue, didn't use the old brain cells very much as i left the boot open whilst i did it, resulting in boot light on battery dead. Charged Battery thought i'd go for a drive to get it up fully. Needed fuel so drove to the petrol station (17 miles away) and they were shut as they were accepting a delivery. I had to drive home without refuelling, so am now sat just above the 'E'. Question is can i put say £5 of ordinary unleaded and a bottle of booster just to get me to the Shell station (don't really want to risk the journey with what i've got left) or am i just better off going in another car with a jerry can and filling up that way?

P.s. its a My94 JDM WRX

Hi ya
I have MY96WRX,I have had to put mormal unleaded in before,just drove it off boost to the shell and filled up with optimax.Hated doing it,but garage had no super.

He's right. As long as you don't "drive it like you stole it" you should be ok. Just keep revs low. I know that when my fuel gauge says empty I've got about 8 Litres left in tank.

thanks for that Guys, i'm off for a nice slow drive to Darlington.

I've run my STI for the last 5 1/2 yrs 40k miles on NUL as I can't get SUL - and it doesn't get an easy life;) Mind you it is off the road this winter taking it easy and I'm using my winter hack instead (GTB;) )

£5 of fuel plus a bottle of OB will be plenty enough!
