Super Unleaded 99 Ron Launch

[purplea4T]

First post of this thread:


Can only speak from my experiences from the “99” pumps in Bangor, but better MPG and car feels sharper (could be placebo).

I've found the same, so possibly not as much of a placebo effect.

Cheers @Cro, hopefully not be too long!

Did he not say it was 95 with additives ? Which would seem more likely within their supply chain.

Nope, 97 with Exocet Octimax added in its high concentration form.

149.9 at the Solo Clandeboye Road this morning.

This is excellent news - I assumed that 99 hadnt made it down this far, and this thread was just an occassional musing. I'll be heading to the Clandeboye Rd next fill up. Gotta support the good cause!

Given Solo now seem to have this at a few sites, does anyone know if they are intending to roll this out across their network?

It would be good to see the outcome of some tests on the fuel against the likes of BP 97 and Texaco 97.

Been there a long time now, early summer I think they started carrying it.

The 24h in cookstown recently got a facelift and I noticed 99 Ron advertised on their sign. Pulled in this evening for a look and there is a 99 Ron pump.

Put around 50£ of this in the car earlier today from the 24hr so will soon see if theres any difference

Someone that has a set of det cans with a 97 and 99 map on something with big horsepower will soon be able to tell you if its good or bad. We have used it and the vehicles responded well

I noticed that the pumps at the Eglinton fuel station have the regular and super pumps, 95 on both with one saying regular and the other saying premium, E10 on them, then a separate pump on the stand with kero with 97 OCTANE written on it. No mention of E5 or E10, just 97 OCTANE. Anyone know what that's about ??

Didn’t notice that last time, just look next time. The Premium E10 is mainly a carbon offset scheme.

went to take a sneaky pump shot and noticed this in Comber other night

says 99 octane

Nice! I see someone reviewed them the other day saying there was 99RON available too!

I'll take a spin over later to try it out

Does anyone know if there is any 99RON available in North Antrim / North Coast area?

 

[mark19]

Anyone used the super unleaded in the nicholl garage or is it just a con?

A couple of times.

a con?

 

[mark19]

A couple of times.

Well maybe not a con. But from what I could see was nothing on the pump saying the spec. Just said e5?

The Nicholls local to me have e5 97ron on the pump.

 

[c_rad]

Did the 99ron ever make an appearance in Ballyrobert near Ballyclare yet?

It’s proper 97 https://www.nicholloils.com/media/1140/document-3.pdf

I pass that station regularly now. There is still temporary fencing on part of the forecourt and the sign has zeros where the super price would be so it doesn't look like it's there yet.

 

[leek9]

OP runs the ballyrobert station, it's not far away last I heard.

 

[nobby]

Has this appeared on any forecourt of Solo in Lurgan/craigavon/pdown area as quite a number are around?
