Can anyone tell me where to get good fuel in East Kilbride?? I rushed out today and now I'm playing redline roulette

(It's for a uk turbo)

If it's standard and not mapped anywhere will do as it uses normal 95 Ron unleaded.

It's mapped and the nearest Tesco is about 8 miles away

And when I say redline I mean the light came on on the motorway on the way! (It's not been out for a while and I never checked how much was in it )

Does BP do 97ron? I could put some in to get me home

Normal unleaded will be fine, unless your thrashing the car about. £20 worth if 95 will be fine,

95 ron will do to get you home. Just get a small amount, drive off boost and fill up with the good stuff when you get a chance.... :-)

Cheers all. I went to halfords earier and got octane boost. I think I'll just keep that in the car, put 97 in it and drive off boost till I get home!

Cheers everyone for your help
