I'm stuck on an island with no 98ron petrol, can i add methanol?
I have a blob eye STi PPP...
As stated stuck on an island with no super unleaded, I have additive on order but it has not turned up yet
What options do i have? I have read that maybe using 10% methanol would do it, or am i best just filling her up with regular fuel and not doing over 2.5k revs?
I have read that if u use normal fuel then after you switch back you need to have the ECU reset...
Help, any advice appreciated.

As above methanol will only be of use if your car's mapped for it. You need a lot more methanol to yield the same energy as petrol so it would be a retrograde to step to use it. Use regular and stay off boost. The standard knock sensor should protect your engine till you get some octane booster.

I wish
It has a 14 mile road circuit (single track roads), you don't need an MOT here either.

Toluene.
Don't **** about with it though, because it is horrible stuff. Do a lot of reading before you buy it and start mixing. Im sure that SN will have had posts about it in the past.
