Hello fellow Seven owners.
I realise that from September 1st here in the UK, the government has stated that standard unleaded petrol must contain 10% Ethanol. I know this is controversial but today my questions relate to the fuel available now, E5 (5% Ethanol) maximum.
1. Do you obtain your fuel from a certain Supermarket or only from a brand name supplier, say Shell?
2. Which grade do you purchase i.e Standard unleaded, Super Unleaded, Octane rated 95,97 or 99, etc?
3. Do you add anything to the petrol before using such as Valvemaster or similar lead replacement substance?
4. How long have you made your choices and how does it suit your Seven?
I'm trying to obtain as much information as possible, am testing many fuels in the 'lab' to find out if the details for each given sample stand up and eventually to hopefully announce my findings on this forum. I am purely a private individual, not connected with any organisation and am not being paid for the research I am doing.
Your details would be most welcome.
Thanks. P.
