Question Optimax for WRX - STI & PPP

The dealership said that the above 2 do not run on Optimax, is this right or are they talking Boll*cks ?

They dont have to, but they run like a bag of nails without Optimax.

I run my STi on Optimax and did notice a difference when I had to put a tank of SUL in it.

I will always fill up with Optimax unless in emergencies etc..

They told me whatever you do, do not run Optimax as it runs like a bag of nails and Subura have issued a statement saying the same !!!

Wot planet are they on ? They are a dealership, you would think they should know.

I am seriously questioning if I should Buy a WRX STI from them. let alone, let them fit the PPP and service it.

We always put Optimax in our wagon when we can, even though shell stations by us are as as rare as rocking horse sh*t!!

Buy from somewhere that actually has some product knowledge.

The car manual and the fuel filler cap state "use 98 RON Gasolene". Good enough for me!

As far as I know, Optimax is the only forecourt fuel to be at least 98RON. Although I went past a Q8 garage in South London yesterday with "Super Unleaded 98" on the pumps.
