  1. Hello all, A post on our club’s FB page earlier today, about fuel prices, got me thinking about what useful steps could be taken by us in an attempt to minimise the risk of the possible negative outcomes of using cheap fuel, 95RON, or fuel of a poorer quality than Shell V-Power when filling up the tanks of our pride and joy. I realise that not all of us will be able to continue using Shell V-Power 99RON. I am fortunate as I don’t work and do a tiny mileage each week, some of which can be avoided. Others among us may have to travel 1000+ miles a week because of work and commuting etc. Not all those travelling for work are able to claim back their petrol expenditure. My most recent fill up, at my local Shell, saw prices of V-Power 99RON at 178.9 pence per litre I have seen prices at other Shell outlets (I use the PetrolPrices.com website and also the app) of 187.9 pence, and I honestly don’t think it will be too long before us GT86/BRZ owners will be facing the 190.0p, and then the 200.0p per litre milestones. What worries me is that once we cross each threshold, the big oil refinery companies will consider consumers become normalised, and, rather than dropping prices back down if possible, they will continue to hold the price, Or raise it further. This might occur even more so with what could be considered the ‘luxury’ fuel types as there will be far fewer numbers of customers that absolutely have to use those fuels, and therefore far fewer making complaints. Has anyone had any experience using any kind of octane enhancers, fuel cleaner additives, or entire fuel system/injector cleaners, or decarbonisation additives etc.? It would be really interesting to know what kind of technology and products exist out there that might be helpful to those of us that have to use cheaper, poorer quality, and 95RON fuels out of necessity. I or Rodney have never had any experience of these things, save for using the additives required for running unleaded fuel in a vehicle (vintage minis) that hadn’t had its valve seats modified, and I imagine that there has been a significant number of advances in this arena in the last decade or so. Does anyone have any thoughts on all this? Are there any economists amongst us that have any knowledge/predictions about where our fuel costs might be trending in the future?
