Hi All.


I was in my local Apple green garage in Baldoyle today putting unleaded petrol in
my wife's car, when I looked at the petrol pump and it said ( unleaded plus with added Ethanol)
does anyone know how this compares to the quality of the Maxol E5, would it be as good ???
would it be good enough for a Rev D Legacy ?.
 
Thanks Dave, thats great to know, because the Apple green is less than half
The distance for me to drive to, than the Maxol. And its 4 cent cheaper a litre.
 
not again!!!! :shock2: the old Maxol VS Applegreen thread

from what i have gathered in the past, Apple may be a 5% ethanol like Maxol but it doesn't mean its the same RON rating, thats what iv been told, i have both in my town, so its no bother

until i get more clarification ill continue to use Maxol
 
Last time this came up I read a few different reports where the fuel was tested, apple green comes up at 95 ron and maxol comes in around 98 ron

Maxol is the better fuel
 
as i post every time this comes up
my car drives better and gets more mileage from apple green
i know i am of a minority
but im convinced off it

Good Afternoon

The RON rating associated with our fuel is to standard ISO EN 5164 and is a 95 RON rating.

I'm sorry that this does not meet your requirements

maxol's fuel has been pretty bad of late, im getting feck all from it power and mpg. cars been running better on apple green with booster. @gsrdriver im around your area as well so im using the same garages.
 
Yeah.
Just after being talking to Hilary from Apple green head office this morning, she confirmed that fuel
is 95Ron.
 
I emailed them as well.
Think there getting a lot of questions.
Should make it clearer on there website.

Found this on your website.

''All of our petrol is E5, with a mix of 5% ethanol to 95% petrol. The use of E5 in place of standard petrol, decreases carbon emissions by 3.4%, and the product can be used in all current petrol engines and doesn't affect the engine warranty.''

What guaranteed octane rating is the petrol on your forecourts?
With E5?''
