Anyone have trouble running super unleaded?
Get it past 2000 and it takes off like a rocket like it always did. It sits on idle fine as well, and revs freely with no misfire when there is no load.
Just wondering if the higher octane could be causing this :dontknow: Its a 16v KR, but dont know what the timing was set to as it was done on a RR last time and not by me, and loathe to start mucking up settings just to get £20 worth of juice to run right!
Has anybody had similar issues running super unleaded?
Cheers

Funny the tesco round us used to use Texaco juice If I remember rightly, but all the cars that religiously used it went through silencers like no ones business and put out a LOT of condensation until hot, ever since they started using their own stuff there hasn't been anywhere near the problems like there used to. I tried a few tanks of Tesco fuel and always got 30mpg, Shell gave me 35+ mpg, that was the decider for me! Not tried the 99 super they do yet, but might have a play and advance my timing a bit :-) although VPOWER/optimax whatever they are calling it has always been the fuel of choice!
Funny you should say that - has been putting more steam than normal out when its warming up! That is when it warms up - had a meeting this morning and it didnt want to play ball - so had to take the espace
When I got back though managed after some cranking and nearly starting to get him going. Left him running for a few hours to burn off more of that rubbish - nearly at the redline now so will fill up at esso tommorow and hopefully it will dilute it enough to get it running right again

I've used ASDA and Texaco lately, the Texaco seems to be better (MPG and running wise), can't comment on the rest.
