Yep, good stuff, but wait ,till you run low, then cant find another shell station thats got any! Mind you, if you search"really well", there are still a few garages that still advertise "5 star", and that stuff does "rock on". Other than that, try going to one of the motor racing circuits when the "touring cars" or "GT's" are there. reason behind this is, due to the regulations they run to, they have to run "pump fuel", so the organisers, swop the fuel in the "on site" garage, so the fuel is available to the public, so they run some damm good stuff, so watch out for these events, even better than optimax!!

Leicester - Shell in Groby Road, London Road, Uppingham Road.
Go here to search for Shell garages:

Hmm - sure someone can make a hyperlink for that!!!!
On the ECU thing - which cars need a reset??? I have an STi7 and although the dealer put 95 in to start with I've ran on Optimax since.
