Optimax - best replacements?
What's the best option if you are unable to get Optimax.
There is no way on God's green earth that I will be able to buy any for the foreseeable..........
Ideas?
Suggestions?

Any other Super unleaded?
If not and you need an octane rating higher than 95, buy some Octane booster. I use NF and buy it from Xtreme Scoobies. And I run a Skoda

I assume that it makes a difference ?
It can safely be assumed that I know little to nothing about cars.....

Must agree about BP causing more activity on KL than most other SUL.I avoid BP at all costs,you'd get less activity using Asda SUL .
Back on topic ive heard that Esso SUL is meant to be quite good although ive never tried it

Esso is my preffered brand, Optimax as a second choice. Link is mapped for the former. I use Silkolene ProBoost for hard use

I use (sorry...) I have used BP SUL and ESSO SUL when stressed and can't find Optimax.
Basically, I'd use branded SUL, though I notice now that they sell 'Ultimate' some BP don't seem to all have 'normal' SUL.
I have a knocklink but have never seen any activity as its sitting in a bag on the kitchen worktop waiting for a clear, sunny, unstressed w/e for me to fit it.

I always use optimax. Firstly because the garagge is close and secondly because my scoob seems to run smoother than when I tried the BP ultima. I also heard the BP stuff hasn't got the RON rating it was claimed to have, is this true..??????

The fuel filler flap on our 04 WRX has a label saying 98 RON only, so I have steered clear of Ultimate. So far the car has only had a diet of Optimax, but as supply can be a bit iffy in Wiltshire, we are thinking of using Esso SUL
