A red Turbo Impreza wagon filling up with normal unleaded at Tescos in Havant, Hants! Thurs PM.

Hope you don't make a habit of that mate - but if you do I hope you've got a kncoklink!

not only normal but tescos!!!
r they stark staring mad

 

I did the same last nite

You went to Havant? Nasty!

Ratman

 

Mine runs fine on normal UL.

 

No it doesnt Andrew, you just havnt noticed the difference yet, optipish™ all the way for me, SUL at a push (if im desperate) and certainly never at a supermarket. tsk. your all supposed to be enthusiasts.
its like comparing Skol in a can from a supermarket to a draught Stella from a good whitbread pub

Jamie, seen that wagon around myself lately.

 

I used to quite like Skol

 

No optimax within 10miles of me and SUL is a bit of a trek. They have however stuck SUL in at Sainsbury's now - but as i tried it and it felt no different.

There's a shell garage in the next road from my house - but no bloody optimax grrr. If it did stock it i would most likely use it!

normal unleaded for the stealth scooby....

an i seem to remember some one thinking it was a turbo model????

if thats what unleaded does......... why do i need opticrap??


hehe

And what's the problem with using 95 if you have a Uk car?

I use it for day to day tootling around. Why waste your money on something that "alledgedly" increases power when you don't need it.

Anyhoo - for all you know he could be using octane booster or making his home brew stuff to get 105RON

 

I get better fuel economy from optimax, and theres cleaning agent in it so it makes the engine , well, cleaner.
All in all worth the extra expense at the pump, IMHO

 

I don't find much economy difference - but i do try to stick optimax in now and then to give it a clean through. I make sure I use optimax for track use though.

Dazza: just did that check and as expected the one i knew about was the only one nearby.

Andy

 

Optimax gives similar economy to Tesco's normal UL in normal day to day driving. I don't see much point in paying 6p per litre extra for the stuff even if I do see a *slight* improvement in pick up.

Jim

PS MY02 WRX UK standard car so 95 ron won't make a bit of difference!!!

Edited to say: I may dabble with this new BP 100 ron stuff for a few tanks when it comes out though...
