Hi All

I've recently bought my first Sprint, I'm over in Dublin and only Petrol available here is 95 Octane. Should I be adding Booster to bring that up?

Thanks

I've run my Sprints in New Zealand on 95 octane for 20 years without resorting to any additives. As long as it is tuned using that fuel it should be fine. Just make sure you don't get pinking and adjust as necessary. Only if you are doing any motorsport would I look for anything else. I ran my racecar on 100+ octane avgas, but that's not legal on the road here due to the high lead content. Geoff
