Hi guys,
Wot are the fuel octane rates over there with you? Over there in the UK we can get 95,97, 98, and 99 octane depending on the garage used. I ve just put a Beams engine in my Celica and run 98 Shell fuel (called V POWER) the engine is a Import straight from Japan. i know they run higher octane there and i thought you run lower octane over with you. So what fuel do you run imports on? how do get around not being able to get 100 octane like in Japan? I know this thread has a few questions. I am genuinely interested. Kev -------------------- Gen 6 Celica in Red with VVTI Beams engine, lowered 40mm, front and rear strut braces, asia tec 17 inch alloys, avon ZZ2 tyres, Rage Back box and a decat, JDM rear lights, red bits on the dash and clock shroud and a DVD player.

You use RON (Research Octane Number) over there Here we use PON (Pump Octane Number) which is an average of RON and MON (Motor Octane Number) PON = (RON + MON)/2 , a.k.a. (R+M)/2 http://www.btinternet.com/~madmole/Reference/RONMONPON.html -------------------- _Gary
