Then they were probably well off tune, dear boy. Or it was all in your
mind.


Rough running on a hot day was usually down to fuel evaporation and SU
pumps. Later cars had a constantly circulating fuel rail to help keep
it cool

I've been around long enough to know that most who find differences in
petrol are fooling themselves - unless using too low an octane rating for
the design of the engine.
