i usually use a bit of both, normal unleaded and optimax/ultimate, depends on which petrol station i use, in saying that, i bought a tank of optimax a few weeks ago and it fooked my bike up good and proper...must have been water or a lot of crud in the fuel, soon as the tank was drained and fuel replaced it was fine again, strange as its usually a busy petrol station

Viney, I think your poll options are wrong...

It should be:
- Super unleaded is usually 97 RON
- BP Ultimate is 97 RON (so just BP's super unleaded)
- Shell Optimax is 98.5 RON

I always use Optimax in the car.... and when I can be bothered, in the bike. However, it's now more expensive than it used to be
