Sorry Weeds, I should have said over 90%, but bear in mind of the small percentage we produce domestically 100% of the OPAL fuel would take a fair chunk.Originally Posted by weeds
OPAL is only produced domestically.
If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

SupporterMost of the diesel I get these days doesn't foam anywhere near as much as it used to. That makes filling the Defender much less tedious than it used to be.
If that is the improvement they have made with Premium Diesel, Special Diesel, Super Diesel, Deluxe Diesel, Ultra Diesel, Magic Diesel, Gluten Free Diesel, Splendiferous Diesel, or whatever they want to call it, then I think they have made a step in the right direction.
None of them make my Defender go faster though.

Not really. If these statements were the case then the converse would also be true......aka that every car owner who complained about a drop off in performance is wrong and therefore should also be mocked and not believed.
Stick to your guns Inc. Your obs as a driver will be on the money.

Id reckon 90% of people would hardly notice at all a gradual drop in performance .
Iv`e been guilty of it.
