( I assumed 97 would be ok, which is all I can get local to where I live ) I filled up with V-Power on the way home last night but my nearest Shell station is about 15 miles away, and a 30 mile round trip to fill up is not always practical, however enjoyable it would be in one of these cars! Thanks
