Default Mixing 4star and superplus to creat a super fuel

Sounds like bollocks to me but it's been quoted on another site I frequent.

Anybody know owt about it as I'm pretty sure one of the more specialst car mags dispelled the myth a while back but can't find the article

You dont need to mix anything because say you ran Tesco's 99 RON fuel and then added some 4 Star LRP which is rated at 97 RON you will dilute the effect of the 99RON

SO..

What you need to do is just run proper Leaded Fuel

**** NOT SUITABLE FOR A CAR WITH A CAT ****


To make leaded fuel now they blend it and its normally around the 99 Octane mark.


To check availability go to www.leadedpetrol.co.uk

Oranoco there are about 5 garages in Hertfordshire that sell it



The nice thing is there are two on the way to the POD, on in Clapham on the A6 coming out of Bedford and the other in Rushden

It's not for mine mate, but cheers for the comments. I run all mine on Optimax and it gives me the results so won't interfere

Somebody posted a link to a load of techy stuff though about a superfuel and it just sounds like crap to me
