Super unleaded at the mo. Will use optimax next time though. For the amount these things use the price doesnt really come into it IMO.

RE: Unleaded or Optimax
you might notice the diffrence
but i doubt it the engines arnt in a higher enough state of tune to really notice it
but as said for the cost.
i bought 3.3 liters (run @33:1 so its easy to mix in 100ml of oil) at the weekend cost a whole £2.74
and will last about 6 1/2 hours running time
must run on fresh air nearly crunchie 50 territory

This:

Costs about twice compared to regular fuel but has some benifits.
Almost no smell, can work with my FG indoors without anyone complaining.

Ive just been to that page on page 8 and it looks like a pretty lond duscisson. but looks like the moral of the story, it does not make really any difference what unleaded fuel you put in (95 RON or 98 RON Optimax) as the engines are not tuned enough etc... so no real difference can bee seen. I think ill stick with regular Shell Unleaded (95 RON).

Plus it will be cheaper as well, so i can spend/save the difference on hop ups like the samba offroad pipe and K7N air filter

I uses whatever is in the Pump. Here in Greenland I can only select between Gasoline and Diesel, The Gas is normally 95 unleaded. Also all gas comes from the same supplier, there is none of the large Gas staions up here, largest city has around 2000 cars/trucks.
Happy driving from Greenland, [link=http://www.santa.gl]The Land of Santa[/link]
