Over here in the UK, standard unleaded is 95 octane and super unleaded is 98 octane. I've
only put standard in my DeLorean so far, and HAVE had bucking problems, but traced it to
a blocked fuel pickup filter. I have now butchered the "question-mark" shaped hose and
inserted an in-line pickup filter, which as of last night when I drove 120 miles, works
beautifully.

(The reason I put in an in-line filter was because of how cheap and easy it is to get
this particular filter (£6), compared to the inferior standard pickup filter.)

To go back to the original point, 95 octane petrol works fine. I haven't tried super yet.

The inertia switch SHOULD be located next to the bonnet release handle. I say SHOULD
because mine's conspicuously absent...
