350zedd Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 I believe there is no Shell fuel available in the Republic of Ireland. Therefore can anyone tell me which service stations sell high octane fuel for the zed Will be driving from Rosslare over to County Cork.....thanks Quote
mick-r1 Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 None all we have is good old 95 octane. Stick to maxol garages and all should be well. 1 Quote
richmillions Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 I fill up wit moementum99 before getting on the ferry fishguard/pembroke in tesco Camarthen, and I have some bottles of octane booster if I need to fill up in the republic. Quote
KyleR Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 Yup, no super in the ROI and only up to 97 available in the North, however, you have a HR Zed, so the engine can detect knock all the way through the rev range and 95 will almost certainly be perfectly fine house while you're over here. 1 Quote
ioneabee Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 Pembroke Dock does NOT have 99 Ron - so as above, Carmarthen on that route is closest however, if your going Fishguard, you can fill up in Haverfordwest Tesco Quote
Ekona Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 97 is still super unleaded, no need to hunt out anything higher. Quote

I heard that octane booster was useless and reduces power by 2% according to a fifth gear vid....they did lab tests on a couple Quote

Hopefully should be ok if I have to fill with 95 Ron while I'm over there for a short period Quote
350zedd Posted June 1, 2014 Author Posted June 1, 2014 97 is still super unleaded, no need to hunt out anything higher. Unfortunately they only sell that in the North, 95 in the South I believe where I'm going Quote

For the sake of £15 for the bottle I wouldn't expect it to do any harm as the HR has the knock sensors. As others say maxol seems the be the preferred or safer option. Quote
GT Driver Posted June 3, 2014 Posted June 3, 2014 As mick said stick to Maxol stations and you should be fine. There's an app you can download too - pumps.ie, that should have all the petrol stations listed and distance from where you are 1 Quote
