went till fill my scooby up today at my local shell garage in hadfield..
after filling her up i went to pay and asked when they are getting the new v power fuel in..well to my suprise they told me they wont be selling it and they are closing and changing to bp in december
well im gutted now cause ive gonna have to drive 7 miles to get to the nearest shell garage in hyde..
could someone let me know if full tank of standard unleaded with a full bottle of octane booster would be ok to run my car on?
it is a import and ive been told to run it on nothing but high octane fuel
cheers

Hadfield? Isn't that The League Of Gentlemen Country??
Are you local?

Bugger this is my local. On the plus side Hyde is normally cheaper.

Why don't you just use the new BP? They do SUL as well you know.

classic_sti

oh right? is sul same as optimax then?
cheers

BP Ultimate isnt good enough for a JDM car, let alone an STI: local or not!

classic_sti

yeah i think im gonna stick with optimax (just done a quick search and read up on fuels)
the only thing is if i ever wanna drive far and my fuel gets low and i cant find a shell garage what do i do?
i guess ill have to stay LOCAL

This is my local Shell Station too. I am aware that they are changing to BP in Decemeber (was told a few weeks ago) but didn't realise that they are not going to stock V - Power in the mean time!

Where is the Shell station in Hyde then?

Palmo

If you are truely LOCAL you'll never want to leave anyway!

classic_sti

i think its just off the main street near the fiat garage (Stone Acre) ..

Yes trying to find a shell garage when I take my scoob on Holiday can be a problem. Although Tesco 99 should be good enough as well?

Dracoro

There's some BP fuel in some garages that are higher octane than Optimax (btw - no such thing anymore ) but you pay through the nose.

Fill up at Shell when you're near one but I doubt putting some BP SUL in from time to time when you're cut short will do too much harm, keep a bottle of octance booster spare in the car for those occasions.
