Default Fuel for a 555?

Might be coming back to the Scooby fold and the car that floats my boat so to speak is the 555 special edition. What kind off fuel do you need for these car will they run on normal unleaded with a good fuel additive? Ta Tony

I live in the sticks so to speak, and the Local Garage is naff and only has regular and the next Garages are a good 20 miles away and this is going to be used buy the wife so ideally I would need a car that'll run on normal unleaded but with an additive as I could buy these by the bulk and leave one in the car at all time's.

Super unleaded and an additive, your alternative (model year of car?) is a remapped ecu to run unleaded fuel, but you will have a performance loss.
DO NOT run it on unleaded!

CVL Turbo Octane Booster | Additives | Demon Tweeks Motorsport, Motorcycle, Modifying, Parts and Accessories was hoping to just use this stuff with normal unleaded?

Yes you can run it on just optimax/v power but personally id also run octane booster as they can make mistakes between putting unleaded into the super unleaded tanks in petrol stations.....
