I imagine you'll have to re-mortagage your house to fill a tank with it, but still, it's interesting to see that 102 RON fuel is available on a forecourt  

Also, i know this won't be ideal for most people here, but I thought I would post it up  

Looks interesting, shame its only availble from 9 filling stations and they're all 200 miles from me!

Still, the journey home would be fun..  

I am soooo buying some of that dude!!!!

I'll let you know how it feels to travel at Mach 2 in a Mk1 8v

yay! they sell it in pompey! tank full for me when i get paid!  

they've had that at bp near ruxley corner, sidcup/foots cray for god knows how long. last time i looked, which was about 18 month=2 years ago, it was about ?2.30 ish a litre. god only knows how much it is now.

thinkin about it my car is standard i normally fill up with super unleaded, would i feel the benfit and would i have to keep using it?

From this I'm supposing you've never been tempted to get even half a tank.

Shame on you.

Tian :?

you'll feel the pinch

It's true what they say, wait long enough and it'll come back round - now Retro fuel . .  those of us old enough to remember the old star ratings will remember 5 star (no not the group), 100+ octane stuff. Jags and the like would run on it but it was about 23p a gallon then !!

I intend and expect to feel a boot up my arse when I press the loud pedal mate.

i'm sure super was about 85p a litre then. didn't see the point of paying ?11 a gallon unless i was burning the living daylights out of the tyres untill it was empty.

I remember when a packet of crisps cost 2p, the same as a telephone call from a very damp and very smelly telephone box. God bless the mobile and the Kettle Chip.

I'm also tempted to go out now and get some rocket fuel, shame I've got nearly a full tank of 97 RON gnats pee in there right now.

Typo? If not then I'd have to agree.

Either way, it's just a laugh, eh!

Tian :wink:

What about avation fuel, any good in cars?

no, the 102 worked out at a bit over ?11 a gallon. that's got to be about 2yrs ago. maybe it's cheaper now?

aviation fuel makes your mk1......fly ops:

Isn't aviation fuel a form of Paraffin?

Tian

kerocene or summat ay it? i though parafin was in them old lamps

Jet fuel is Kerosene based, aviation fuel is Petroleum based with octane content up to 145 8O
