VR665 Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 Anyone know if Super Unleaded petrol is available in Shetland? Is there any way to find out who supplies the local garages with fuel, i.e. BP/Shell etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muppet Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 Not sure about super unleaded, but all the garages are supplied by either Scottish oils, or Highland Fuels. Either way it all comes from Grangemouth in the same tanker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxFusion Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 I think Bolts were the only one's to sell Super unleadedno use now since they shut their pumps shortly after starting to sell it...... octane boost additives may be your only option MF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VR665 Posted June 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 Had a look into the octane boosters and a few sites claimed that they only increase the RON on super unleaded and have little if any effect on normal unleaded. Anyone running a car that should use a higher RON, impreza etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trooter Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 My car can run on either, I had it remapped but boost pressure was kept down due to not having super unleaded here. Many of the high performance cars should ideally be using super. How much would that cost, another 10p over unleaded? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
engineer21 Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 Mine should be running on 98ron but havent found any up here and audi say it can run on 95ron. its an Audi S3 gonna run it on 98 down the road and see if i get a good difference.

VR665 Posted September 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 Sounds like you'll need 2 or 3 tank fulls to get the engine to adapt to the higher rated fuel before you'll see a difference.I see Scottish Fuels have bought Leasks forecourt, perhaps they will supply super unleaded, I'm sure we could put a case together for a 'small' supply!

engineer21 Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 Yeah would most def need a few tanks too flush the system. yeah wouldnt mind lol ahh so theyve bought leasks lets hope they stay competitive!! i have read of S3's in South Africa running on worse fuel than here so car should be ok!! Mind you the 98 is a damm bit more expensive but then if you can afford an expensive car!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
