Be advise though that prolong use of additives or boosters containing MMT may introduce problems with catalytic converters, injectors, oxygen sensors, etc. which is why U.S. petroleum refineries only use MMT to a limited degree -- it may be the cheapest way to boost gasoline octane but at what cost? Personally, I would just go buy gasoline whose octane is prescribed by the manual, not more, not less.

98+ RON. usually Tesco Ultimate.
Here in the UK the crackpots at the EU are making petrol manufacturers put Biofuel into gas, it makes the M3 and m5 run really badly. Shell is the worst in this so alot of us over here have stopped using Shell Vpower Nitro.

Biofuel sucks! I can tell the difference in the diesel and gas autos I own. Drops power significantly! It's all political crap!

so it only just happened when shell launched Vpower nitro+
I'm using Tesco 99, there is one near wembley and one near Heathrow. The other fuel thats ok is sainsburys 97. BP ultimate is ok also but they are usually alot more price wise, I avoid them on principal.
