Actually you raise a good point, I will have to do a test to see how L/100 km
goes comparing optimum and Standard 91......
and then comparing the " aweful " E10 .... 10% ethanol .

Yup it costs a couple of cents more per litre, but the car goes faster, travells further and you dont crack manifolds etc.l

The " cracking manifolds " issue , I guess thats exhaust manifold.
Is that due to running too hot?

The grooves in the Head allow you to run Higher Compression without the
problems usually associated with doing this. The grooves allow for more complete burn of fuel.

Yeah I have some rear drums for you Glenn, dont leave it too long tho.

I have seen lots of cracked manifolds from using normal unleaded. It makes em get hotter and so break. God knows what it does to the rest of the engine. Use 98 octane. Or at least 95 with a carby.

A year and a half , and so Little done on my next car.
I am planning on taking some time off work to get this " Moving ".

Was hoping Oval Beetle prices would have gone crazy high by now
to Aid injecting lots of funds into this project..........Alas , dont think
I will get much for my Oval [ well used, requiring paint- 1916cc].
Been doing little bits on the Rocco, and it is in pretty good shape.
So shouldnt take too long to get it together.
Motor runs beautifully, has a nice note - got to love those Dells.
