Good advice and I think it applies to choosing the right fuel for all modern engines
The subject of fuel quality is becoming more and more important as engine tolerances are becoming critically small and 'supermarket' fuels are becoming cheaper and poorer in quality
The quality of Shell optimax is known in motoring circles to be of a higher quality. Higher octane of course but lower Ethanol and much cleaner to burn
I have been told by another engine specialist two weeks ago to only put this fuel in my car if I owned it and wanted to keep it for a long time
I now only put this in my Morgan
