Hi ppls,

Just wondering what your opinions would be on the 100 octane Shell extreme fuel with 5% ethenol is with running in an L67 ? would 5% ethenol damage your motor ? would there be any advantages using the extreme fuel over the 98 octane fuels already out there ?,

from what i've heard workin in the automotive industry ethanol is alright in small amounts

My understanding is that up to 10% ethanol is fine for cars built after 1985... basically any fuel injected car should be fine. It is indeed higher octane and for that reason I reckon it would be good for the SC engines. I would definitely try it out in mine if I stumbled across a place that sold it

Just ran a tank of optimax extreme 100 and could not tell any difference ( maybe after 3 tanks we will see ? ) to the normal optimax, i'll try about 4 tanks but it seems BP ultimate wins again ( In My Opinion anyway )

Nothing comes close to BP Ultimate

I've not tried the Optimax out here yet, but the stuff sold in the UK used to make a noticeable difference to my car there. No ethanol in it in the UK though.
