Hey All,

Question...what fuels will the Exige take?... I have a choice of Leaded 97 octane (great stuff!), or 93 unleaded.

Would it be happy with both, and just as a matter of interest, what would the original performance stats that Lotus issued, have been based on?

Cheers,

Nick

If the car is normal (UK) spec you can't use leaded even if it is 97 RON!

Shell (SA) advertise 95 RON unleaded, and this might be OK.

Original stats probably based on 96/97 RON, although this is an area of total confusion and disagreement between the various fuel companies.
