The Mrs had finished uni and there isn't a need for me to have a long distance cruiser.

Pretty much sorted on a MGB GT 1980 model and been looking at the whole discussion about fuel additives..

What should i do?

1. Run on normal unleaded and use additive?
2. Run on normal unleaded and not add anything?
3. Run on super unleaded and not add anything?

Will the additive make it able to crack the fabled 55mph?

Forget additives and run it when you can on Tesco Momentum 99RON. It works a treat in the B Series engine in my Riley 1.5. If you don't have a convenient Tesco, use 97RON Super Unleaded.
This is the option i am leaning towards, i have a tesco a couple miles away.
