G'day Steven,

I haven't been too impressed with that with that LRP stuff either. I tried
it in my Peugeot and it ran like a pig. Haven't been game to try it in the
Sunbeams. I've been using premium unleaded + additive instead.

Dunno about the catalyst though. From what I heard they make no difference
at all.
