Use Super (98 RON) and 95 RON if > you're a cheapskate :) Well I was experimenting with the Optimax. Optmax is 98 RON. Local other petrols are BP and Esso with Super unleaded at 97 RON and 95RON, and Sainsburys with 95 RON. Was going to try the Optimax, see if it made a difference MPG wise, if it did, try the BP or Esso 97 RON see if I could get it closer to balance cost/MPG. I don't mind putting dearer than the standard stuff in, as long as I'm getting the best returns for the money, hence the brand experimenting. -- Carl Robson (The poster formerly known as Skodapilot) http://www.bouncing-czechs.com
