glam Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 Do you know of a website listing where 99 grade is available nationally? Bit Trainspottery, I know but just in case someone may have done one?! I live in Wells in case anyone knows the area intimately & I've missed somewhere which now sells it? As far as I can tell, the best I can do round here is 97 & the nearest 99 is about 1/3rd of a tank's worth away!!

Bloody hell! thats a long way to go for 99ron Most BP garages sell 99 ron, so do tescos and Esso. I dont know the area you live in but it would seems SURELY theres a nearer place!! you could always buy BULK octane booster!!!! (sorry!)
jd Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 try and use V Power or as above get a stock of octane booster and keep some in the car when you will up with SUL (97)
glam Posted March 13, 2008 Author Posted March 13, 2008 cheers, being new to all this I hadn't heard of octane booster but I like the sound of it.
glam Posted March 13, 2008 Author Posted March 13, 2008 what model & year is your car? uk or import? '98 Turbo 2000 awd, UK
jd Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 has it been remapped or is it standard? if standard you are ok running it on super unleaded SUL.
glam Posted March 13, 2008 Author Posted March 13, 2008 has it been remapped or is it standard?if standard you are ok running it on super unleaded SUL. Really? TBH someone else said that to me but I wanted a second opinion (nope it hasn't been remapped....... maybe in the future?!) So I won't be doing the engine any long-term damage? Thanks buddy
jd Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 no, they are designed to run on normal super unleaded from the factory.
glam Posted March 15, 2008 Author Posted March 15, 2008 dont Tesco's in Wells do 99? Tescos in Wells don't do Nuffin'! (sorry Hot Fuzz moment) She seems to be moving great on the 97 though
monkip1 Posted March 15, 2008 Posted March 15, 2008 To be honest unless your car is mapped specifically for a certain grade of fule, dont worrie bout putting in 97ron, i have loads with my motor as i DAME RIGHT REFUSE WASTE my money on 99ron as its costing more and more to buy, and as i commute to work and back in the scooby everyday i want more petrol for my money. I dont usally rang my car never really have, so i suppose thats why my cars been good
