No high octane petrol in Rep of Ireland.
Shell V power is still only 95RON.
kinda hoping (against hope) that this new Maxol E5 fuel will be higher than 95 RON.

The FTO would def prefer 98-99RON fuel if you can get it.

As far as I can see from the Texaco site, Techron doesnt seem to improve anything, it only keeps your bits and pieces clean.

Co-worker of mine asked Maxol (he sent them an email) they got back to him stating that it'd be 99octane.

Queue chorus addition in Neil Diamond's Sweet Caroline:

"I don't believe it, you're makin' it up!"

I'll await hard evidence from Maxol before commenting further.

Back to your original Baps (nice name!), the FTO will run fine on 95, although it was designed to run 98 in Japan. The only time you have to worry about the lack of SUL availability is when you start talking about turbo-charged imports.

Is Shell V Power basically re-branded Shell Pura?
