i dunno - i miss the forum for one day and there's so much to read!

sasol 100 - i used to use it. now i use 95 unleaded from shell or bp. i cant say that i ever felt a difference in my car, but my BUTT DYNO needs sorting out!!!

And remember, 95 costs you only about R6.50 more for a full tank than 93, but you get more mileage! Shell V-power is 95 unleaded, but I think the BP ultimate 95 unleaded is the best petrol for your rand - you get more milage and it cleans your engine quite well.

Hmmm, yeah good idea actually. Was gonna just replace it with the original cover. Just 4 interests sake, how much would a carbon one be, where would i get one, and how much? 8)
