[Healeys] Fuel

[Derek Job]

Bob

I think you are focussing too much on the word 'quality' which I used
originally. I meant low octane, which for my purposes with a Healey, means
poor quality. I appreciate that modern fuels in their own way are no doubt
'high' quality but they aren't ideal for a Healey, particularly one that
has increased performance. I have a Jaguar XF and I couldn't care less what
fuel I put in it, as long as its diesel and not petrol!
