I would tell him to get his engine dioged then, we all know that BP is a very good performing fuel

MPG for mine on Tescos is chod!!! (96 wrx 2/3 decat import)

Optimax runs much smoother and much better mpg for me.

but as no 2 subarus are likely to be the same, i guess each person must try for themselves.

i use my shell saver card too!!!

Just my personal findings...
