Where?

Tesco surprisingly enough!

A reader of Fleet Street's best motoring Q&A column today praised this fuel - saying it made his Subaru Impreza run better than even on Shell Optimax.

The fuel is made by Greenergy and is 5 per cent bioethanol. The guru whose name appears on the column agrees that it is great stuff.

Interesting to see if it has any effect on the CV carburettor icing problem.

The Link in my top post is actually to the Greenergy site not Tesco’s and does give a link to the full spec and make up of the fuel.

I tried it juss for THAT problem! So 99octane + additive should equal
But not in my case!

What's the price difference over "normal" unleaded?

Actually, the leaded 4-star which is still available through the Bayford Thrust group is rated at 100 octane. The price makes you cry, but I can vouch for the fact that it certainly made my Ironhead and shovel go like stink!

[Spen]

The price difference at the Tesco's in Boston is 4p.
And both my Glide & MR2 run better on it than the normal pool petrol that's usualy served up.

If you're going to use it in your ironhead you might need to use an addative to stop valve seat erosion.

I've got a bottle of additive from when I had an aged Beemer R80RT if someone wants to try it?
