Which kind of petrol to use...

[cominoc]

Hi everyone,
I was wondering which kind of petrol is better for my engine...
Normally I use a 100 octane petrol (Shell VPower) and add an octane booster (bardhal)
Do you think is ok for my engine or not ?
Thank you,
Carlo.

I use the high RON rated petrols (VPower etc) too but dont use any additives, I dont think you need to.
What engine is in your S? Your "Garage" says its a V8S 2000cc??

My goodness, it lives! Erm most S's should run fine on 95 octane because the engines are RV8s and Ford V6s. Yours however may need a higher octane because of the boost may cause pinking.

Yes, this is indeed what the TVR Italian dealer told me
