[quote][i]Originally posted by SVM 286[/i] [quote][i]Originally posted by Daimo B[/i] [quote][i]Originally posted by SVM 286[/i] 4 star leaded and when it was phased out, their Super unleaded was the best alternative available. And it was noticeable. But also because I have had a number of cars that have all behaved better, running on Shell fuel. [/quote] Im kinda waiting for the new generation to ask what 4 Star fuel is, or 2 Star :lol: I'm with you I think Shell is the best. I try never to buy BP, mainly due to the lies they told in the 80's about bringing fuel costs down. Most expensive f**kers out there, still... [/quote] They are thieves aren't they Daimo. I don't know why they are so sodding dear. Their fuel is nothing special and the last time I checked, their 'Super' variant was pish as far as RON was concerned. I really miss 4 Star:( 2 Star was wicked too because it was so cheap. And for certain cars, especially bangers that could get away with running a lower octane rated fuel without pinking or power loss, it was terrific for saving money. 5 Star was just awesome though. I wish you could get it now. Texaco 5 Star was all my old man used to put in his twin carb P6 Rover 2000. It lapped the stuff up and went like the clappers. It just wasn't the same car on 4 Star. And 2 Star was about as much use to it as paraffin. It was quite hard to come by though as not every Texaco sold it. It was a fairly controversial fuel in the mid 70's for a while too because Ferrari made a complaint about McLaren using an illegal higher octane 'special' race fuel in their cars. It caused all sorts of problems for them (which presumably Ferrari loved and was obviously the desired effect), but turned out to be completely legal 101/102 (can't remember which it was) octane rated 5 Star Texaco pump fuel that was sold to Joe Public. I've always fancied picking myself up a couple of barrels of Elf Race fuel, but at £5.64 a litre, it's a little prohibitive:( [/quote]
