I've recently switched to Shell (to get my $25 iTunes card ) and based on what Gary said I've gone for 93 (VPower) rather than 89... I've had the cold start issue and it runs 'lumpy' when cold. I'll try Josh's car-friendly starting method and see if that works and I'll try mixing 89 and 93 to get homebrew 91... Why do our cars 'need' 91 when the gas stations here are all set up for 87, 89, 93..? Who's wrong..? Why is 91 not common at the pumps and yet it seems to be the European standard..?
Personally I'm less inclined to blame the software writers for the ECU and more inclined to blame the oil companies and the states who can't agree on one fuel to rule them all


Religion is like a huge dog. If it's yours it's very friendly and comforting, but it scares the heck out of everyone else.
