ron

The McLaren Technology Group have released a statement confirming Ron Dennis' exit as their chief executive. It read:

Guys i have not owned a petrol for many years so now squat about petrol and Ron levels or what ever they are. I was just reading that Merc recommend super unleaded with a minimum of 98 RON. The V8 can be run periodically on a lesser Ron unleaded (so they say) but a superior fuel must be used! I...

I just trawled through various threads looking for info on this but didn't find what I was looking for. I do a fair bit of travelling some weeks and don't have time to seek out or detour past the nearest Shell or super unleaded friendly petrol station but if I need to carry octane booster so be...

Just wanted to know if the 55k AMG engines run ok on the 95RON petrol or do you have to use 97RON or the 99RON that tesco's claim they have. What do you guys put in your beloved babies?

My car's manual says I should use no less than 98ron petrol. Occasional 95 is permitted but only as a necessity. With Sainsburys 97ron petrol now costing £1.28 (with the voucher) compared to Shells £1.42 for V power 99ron it is extremely tempting to fill up with the Sainsburys fuel. Is...

Greetings, citizens. Filled up tonight at the local Shell station, which was recently refurbished. Probably the second/third time I've done so. However, I noticed this time there's no RON numbers on the pump labels - fairly sure that before regular was labelled as 95 and V-power as 98. I...

PistonHeads Headlines - Spotted: Mercedes Benz SL65 AMG

I've seen a couple of threads talking about using super vs. plain unleaded, but apart from the odd "me too" from a C32 owner, no definitive comment on whether it makes much difference. Is the ECU tuned for super or plain? Does it auto-sense? Does it a) feel better or b) get better economy from...

Sssh! You're looking at Britain's £800m supercar secret weapon | Mail Online:eek:

Ive just had an experiance today at the manchester art gallery that has changed my view of art.there are a couple of sculptures by the artist ron mueck that are totally mind blowing.the attention to detail is so real,are they real? if you ever get the chance to see his work dont miss the...

Hi, The user manual for my S500 yr2000 says to use Unleaded RON 95. Is that standard unleaded, or premium ie BP Ultimate etc.. Seem to get conflicting info on the web some say standard unleaded is 91 RON others state 95. Thanks

From BBC Sport: Ron Dennis has handed over complete control of McLaren Racing to team principal Martin Whitmarsh, ending his 43-year involvement in Formula 1. The 61-year-old stepped down as world champion Lewis Hamilton's team boss on 16 January, but stayed involved in F1. Dennis will...

I currently put 99 ron in the tank at the moment, but would it harm the car to put in 95 ron? The car is a C43. Some cars can adjust the ecu to accommodate the different ron and wondered if can adjust like some cars can do.

Not much of a story , but I was in The Wharf today killing time over coffee and who comes in for lunch but Mr Dennis himself ..... His chauffeur driven S500 with AMG wheels ( K006 *** ) waiting in the car park .....;) Didn't get to say hello to him as he looked like he was chatting to...

has any body noticed any differences between high performance fuels and standard 97 RON? J

Is anyone else using Tescos limited availability Superunleaded fuel? My first are impressions are that it is as good as Shell Optimax but much cheaper. In my 4 pot it has the effect of making the car run for smoothly (although my car was tuned to run on Optimax when I had it Superchipped)...
