Indeed, but my car is less than 2 years old and the ECU is mapped for Super
Unleaded fuel (97 RON) ;) Anything less and it will be knockety knock and
blown engine :( Also, did you know you can run on lead replacement fuel in
any car without any long term problems.  Sure, the Lambda sensor won't work
very well while running on LRP but, 2 tanks of unleaded after, it and the
cats will be fine.

In fact Rolls Royce run 2 tanks of LRP through their engines when new as
customers complained about the sickly sweet smell of unleaded fumes once
catalysed by new cats.

P.S.  I am very interested in Shell Optimax - reputedly 98.6 RON average :o
