Did anyone else buy the 100 octane in Germany, on last years Eurotour

I might have done. I still prefer single malt though Paul.

That Austin has a refined taste.

Hi Greg,
Irrespective of the age of an engine, thermodynamic principles remain the same. For experimental purposes ( I.e. fuel testing ) it is required to maintain a known constant baseline to compare results.

Age doesn't matter, unless you are looking to join the GTS.;)

Hi Glen
Yes I know I was speaking from experience, this is what I used to do for a living

The guy operating it retired in 2002 but loves his job so carries on working!

So having been round a good few of the Uk's, some of the French and German fuel labs I know a bit about the results. Let's just say put in the best stuff you can find at the pumps and hope for the best!
Sorry that I am of no more help than the labels on the pumps though.

Sorry Greg,

I've got some spare eggs if your grandma would like some to suck.

No worries Glen. I am currently in a not so lovely Premiere classe in Troyes en route to the alpes. I have the pleasure of the next 6.5 hours with one of BP's retired chemists so I can do some more fuel analysis on the way. What was it you wanted to know again?

We are using his Saga credit card to fill up and spending the other 680.81 euros i found lying around as quickly as possible on alternative fuel (beer)!

I googled the credit card charges on the way and as I cannot get a saga card for another 5 years, I could get a halifax classic which has the same foreign currency deal - if I didnt already have a halifax credit card. DOH !
No snow here yet...

I dunno Greg. It's hard to remember things at my age....

ETA Did they have some beer in Troyes this time? It was a bit scarce last year! Or was that the year before?

Have a nice trip.
