The new Texaco (part of the newly built EuroSpar) in Downpatrick has super (only place in the town that has super otherwise it's a trip to Clough or Newcastle)
Super Unleaded 99 Ron Launch

Pretty sure Texaco in Comber does SUL - Dundonald Texaco def does. You have BP in Ards and in Ballyhack too. Sainsburys Hollywood Exchange as well.
Solo in Comber does "99" but thats where I had all the shiiiiiiiiiiiiiite of the tank pumped into my car and been having issues since May 2023

Are the additives used similar to the like of NF octane booster? Just wondering if it leaves an orange residue on the plugs the same way NF did. The Exocet stuff they all seem to be using contains trimethylbenzene as the octane booster. The likes of NF use a manganese containing compound which...rmsmotoring.com
I've completely boycotted that station after that. It really did point towards their fuel as the issue, but the DGAF attitude was ridiculous
Your closest 99 may be the OPs Ballyrobert station

Was always the dearest sul pump about these parts. I'd normally use Carlisles in Ballynahinch or Texaco in Comber

I’m happy to stick to 97, just couldn’t see any 99 the other day when I was there.

Must check Texaco Riverview to see if it has Super. @Captain Starlet might know?
Yeah, wouldnt go near the Solo after the nightmare you had.
Dont need 99 in all fairness, just E5 for the Escort

Texacos names are a bit confusing the Premium is standard e10 95 ron fuel, they call the Super, Supreme which is e5 97 ron.

Maxol is wild for that. They have regular and premium but as far as I know they are both E10 95 RON. It's just the more expensive stuff has some sort of green levy on it or something.

Yes the Texaco in comber on the road to Killyleagh does super unleaded 97, we use it in the bikes and I've never had any problems.
Haven't tried the solo 99, but don't really need it like you say.

Down at Killeavy Castle for a wedding tomorrow, partner is having to head down early so made her take the RS4 and brim the tank on 99. I'll do the same with the M4 on my way down. RS4 is mapped for 99 so be interesting to see how it fares
You've also the option of 99 in Camlough!
Is it the same as the solos, 97 with additive? Not that I’m going there as in Fermanagh, just curious
I go to friends regularly in Kent and the local Shell and Tesco sell 99ron, and it’s just a tiny bit more expensive that 97 super in Fermanagh. Hateful lol
