hoofboy Posted September 7, 2005 Report Share Posted September 7, 2005 Help me please! No shell garages within 15 miles of where I live and work, so can't buy optimax. What is next best alternative for 3.2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jojo Posted September 7, 2005 Report Share Posted September 7, 2005 Super unleaded is 97RON, I would be suprised if you can tell the difference with day to day driving between both types of fuel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DukeDesmo Posted September 7, 2005 Report Share Posted September 7, 2005 I use Optimax when possible but there is no shell Garage near to me so I've been using Esso Premium, although now my local Esso Garage is closing & the only other local one is BP Ultimate which seems OK but is always the most expensive. However I have used the normal 95 octane and whilst it may not be as good, I can't honestly say I can feel the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalheer Posted September 8, 2005 Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 I've been using BP Ultimate since i bought mine, but after reading on here that it was only 97RON have moved over to Optimax 98.. have noticed a definate improvement in fuel economy.. but thats probably about it...

CarMad Posted September 8, 2005 Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 All.. a new user Purple Nurple made a post in the A3 section about Optimax and what it will and won't do. I have copied the post into General Cars on this link Optimax the truth. Basically normal unleaded most of the time with a fill of Optimax every few tank fulls is the best way to go for the car and the pocket. We all really don't need to be obsessed about needing Optimax. Normal unlead from a good name not supermarket will do fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
