Optimax for mk2's ???

[workhorse '90 8v]

What do you mk2 owners reckon to running on shell optimax?

obviously its gonna be better than standard stuff
but is it really gonna be worth the extra bucks?

its 83.9 a litre here !!!   6p more than the standard stuff

am i gonna get that back in extra mpg?

I only use Optimax, simply because my 8v runs better on it compared to super or unleaded, I think I get slightly improved economy too but the main reason I use it is because it makes my car feel that bit more responsive

Or maybe I'm just a sucker for Shells marketing

have a look on the inside of your fuel flap, it says to run the car on 98RON fuel, and what is optimax??? 98RON

Super UL is 97RON
UL is 95RON

optimax is the best for your car

[workhorse '90 8v]

I fully understand that it is BEST for my car and is what I SHOULD be running on.

However, at the moment its a question of cost.
At 83.9 a ltr i would get 23.8 ltrs for ?20

whereas 77.9 for standard fuel i'd get 25.7 ltrs

nearly 2 whole extra ltrs

which is bugger all !!!

fair enough i've convinced myself (with the help of you lot)

Right, i'm off down the Shell station, where's my cheque book

I use Optimax in my mota, simply because it is a performance car and says 98 ron on flap

I use LRP what does any 1 recommend to that  

[workhorse '90 8v]

what results do you get from the LRP ?

i've often thought about chucking some of that stuff in !

its got a certain ring to it  L - R - P    

what does anyone "reckon to that" ?

[Blue MK2]

hang on? LRP, optimax, unleaded?

all i do is pull up to a pump and look for the 'unleaded' filler  and make sure i dont fill it with super unleaded. lol

whats all this LRP, optimax etc?
