How long do you have when the yellow light comes on in a Spec C? (blob eye)

My local Shell has converted into a ****ing Gulf! I guess that means no more V-power!

The car was mapped for V-power, anyone know what octain Gulf uses?

Cheers.

 

tescos local ?

 

50 litre tank on spec c iirc warning light possibly comes on ant 10 litres left and gulf will be 97ron at best

 

Dang.

How much miles does 10 litres convert into?

No local Tesco.

 

How much does your right foot weigh?

 

 

suppose not a lot until i get some in the tank

Gulf... WTF?!

Obscure brand taking over a Shell station... popular site too. What's going on there?!

 

10 litres could be 50 miles or 10.

 

put lpg for old crap

 

Octane booster?

 

Have the map tweeked for the fuel your going to use, dare say you would notice much difference

 

last time i put octane booster in, my car went into some diminished power state. the boost was low power until i reset the ECU. not putting that crap in again.

i see Gulf has an endurance fuel which is 102 ron. i guess i could use that?

V-power was only 99 i think, will there be any problems?

 

Walter, you're not in Lanark, South Lanarkshire by chance are you? Local Shell there just switched to Gulf too...

 

If you are, there's a Tesco in Carluke

 

no, north lanarkshire.

i passed ANOTHER shell station today that was coned off - exactly like my local one was before it transformed into Gulf.....

 

just got an email back from Gulf.

the Endurance at the pump is 97 ron

102 is for at Silverstone.

seems Gulf have an expansion program going on from what he said... may be hard to find V-power in certain areas!

will the ECU go into limp mode with 97?

 

Tesco Wishaw and Bellshill both have momentum and both North Lanarkshire.

 

they are still miles off.

what ron does BP do? there is one near my work.

confirmed that other Shell station i seen coned off is turning into a Gulf

 

Shell V Power and Tesco Momentum 99 are the only two true 99 RON fuels available in the UK as far as I'm aware. All the rest, BP, Esso etc. are 98 or below.
