Favour for Kenny....

He's been on the phone very low on fuel and is looking for the nearest garage selling SUL or Optimax near to Kilmelford (20 miles South of Oban) area.....rather than filling up with 95ron

Oban has been tried along with ESSO garage just North with no joy...

Any help appreciated but personally don't post as Scoobynet's such a lovely quiet place with him stranded up there

Why not just fill up with 5-10 litres of 95 to get home, then top up later?

Joey - harsh...

Ok ok ok..... you can flame him all when he gets back. He asked me to put up a post and that's what I've done

Cheers Dan B but unfortunately not all Shell stations have Optimax as he's just found out

Yup, agreed that 95 ron wouldn't kill it in the short term but if I was up there on holiday to make best use of the roads on offer I think I'll admit to wanting something a bit more than 95...

turboman786,

Totally agree with you, why is it anything involving Kenny and his Impreza ends up being a major drama. It's now got to the stage where he can't even fill the thing with petrol without consulting this messageboard first.

The Esso at Lochgilphead sells super, or it did the last time I was there (about two years ago). It's probably about 15 miles further south, and it's a cracking drive to get there.

aapetrolpusters.co.uk site came up with these 3 stations that sell super according to them.
FYNESIDE SERVICE STATION
FYNESIDE
LOCHGILPHEAD
ARGYLL
PA31 8JP

BEN SERVICE STATION
NORTH ROAD
FORT WILLIAM
INVERNESS-SHIRE
PH33 6TQ
or
BP/SAFEWAY BRANCHTON
INVERKIP ROAD
BRANCHTON
GREENOCK
RENFREWSHIRE
PA16 0PX

Don't know if this is any help but hopefully it will be accurate as it's the site I'm going to be using when I go up the west coast in May

John S

Thanks for that. I've passed that on to Kenny and he's appreciative

and his comments to the really helpful posters

The car was mapped specifically to run on 97ron by John Banks, sure it would run fine on 95 ron but once out the city on excellent twisties, would you really want to do so


Richard

Kenny didn't even draw breath at your kind comments, but he says thanks for your help anyway ya c**t.... (think there must have been a bad signal at that point as I really couldn't quite catch his last bit
