Can anyone tell me where I can find 98+ RON petrol in N. Ireland? No Shell stations here which is what I normally use. Anyone know which brands here are 98+? Preferably near the Cookstown area! Thanks.

If you use scoobyireland.com lots of people on there happy to help, I live in Antrim and I have a BP which has it in Templepatrick and a Topas at Nutts corner I usually use the Topas though but both are a bit of a drive for you lol

You've no chance of anything better than 97 here in N.Ireland I'm afraid.

Thanks Urban. I had begun to wonder as I hadn't seen any! I presume it doesnt make a difference - I've always put 98+ in as the label on the fuel cap says so and I'm sure I've read somewhere that it can affect the management system settings? But I'm thinking 97 wont affect this? Thanks.

Should have added
BP Ultimate is widely available
Sainsbury's have SUL should they have a petrol outlet close to you
Topaz - limited availability I've found.

What car do you have?
If its a standard UK car, then you'll be alright on SUL.
Personally I only use Sainsburys SUL, mainly as its handy to me

only way to achieve 98+ in n ireland is to add octane boast to the 97 , i use topaz 97 mixed with boast from halfords

Yep - its a standard UK car - MY05 WRX SL (I liked the heated front seats for tjhose cold winter mornings!)

Thanks for all the replies - 97 it is (and maybe a trip to Halfords)!

erm. you could use a mix of 97 RON and 10% methanol.
