Hi to all of you. Recently bought an 04 STI. What a superb car. Only hope i can get enough petrol to keep it going. Previous owner said it has only been run on Optimax fom new. Should i just use Optimax or can i get away with 95ron in an emergency? ie current crisis.
Cheers.

You may actually find that Optimax is easier to get than reg unleaded as people don't want to pay the extra for it!! Don't forget there is also SUL (97 RON) which, obviously, is better than 95RON. You could also get some octane booster for when you can't get hold of the good stuff.
