Default Bugger!

After 3 years of BP Ultimate for the love of my life, I've had to bung a tenner of "regular" in due to bad planning and living in a town with one petrol station . God knows why I'm bothered, I've always put the cheapest fuel in all of my cars. Its just the way an S2000 makes you feel, you want to look after her!!

It's simple, do what I do, carry a bottle of Millers octane boost for emergencies.

Only need 91 octane. Regular here is 87. Feed it some 93 or higher. (US measuring.)

If I remember the US lists octane differently but blending in a higher grade will help. 87+93=180 180/2=90. Pretty close and who really knows if the pump is correct. Yellow handle is Diesel! And that will not run well.
