Well done Terry
That answers the question (from Shells' point of view anyway)
So I wonder what was the story behind the various comments recently that
said there problems?
Oh well.. The guy who reco'ed my head said i could run unleaded except for
the comp ratio so Otimax and PULP should be no worries.. I kinda like super
tho as its a 'known' quantity.
cheers
Mick
