jamesmark Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 Run it on 95 ron, If you are in a TT you might not boost as much, thats about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarlT67 Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 It will run on 95 ron, but may not run as smooth, boost as high etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keancy Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 Keancy lives in tintagel pm her see where she gets hers I go and fill up at Tregonning in Wadebridge every 2 weeks, that's the closest one to me. Bit of a pain in the ass. I do occasionally just run it on a bit of unleaded when I am desperate but you can tell the difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hemmjonny Posted April 13, 2008 Author Share Posted April 13, 2008 lol yeah that sounds easy just move. I take it that my research was right then non of the octane boosters work then. I still have enough 97 till last me to the end of the week. then i will have to start putting 95 in it if esso dont start selling it again. I was told its not good for the car to run it on 95 is that just a myth then? cheers Jonathan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Start a petition LOL that will be a waste of time mate, we live in Cornwall. Rather then bring us up to speed with the rest of the Country we seem to be going backwards in many respects. Dare you to come down here and try to use the public transport. What a laugh that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous brain Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 OK allay your fears the car will run on 95. It won't like it much but it will run. Temperatures aren't so high this time of year so det won't kill your engine. I'd advise you just take it a bit easy and plod on through the crisis. In your spare time I would really get a water meths kit and fit that which will make future 97 RON shortages a lot more acceptable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
