Heard a report today done by Which magazine that states there is no significant advantage using high Ron petrol over the ordinary stuff, the petrol companys countered with the argument that the Which tests where not extensive enough :-/

Well I know a few on here say they get better performance or MPG, the only difference I can find is my wallet is lighter when I use it.........

[Grumpy]

I keep an extensive spreadsheet for my cars, that even includes where I bought
the fuel.

I often do a 150 mile trip from Cheshire to Cumbria.
When ever I've used Tesco fuel I get circa 33 mpg.
When ever I've used the higher grade Shell I get circa 36 mpg.

So, I'm paying approx 10% more for an approx 10% improvement in mpg.
So it evens out.
But......... I know I'm putting a quality fuel in with the Shell, and not some cheap
Russian stuff with God knows what additives stuffed in it to bring the spec up.

The old heap of a corsa will only run Vpower or anything 99RON.  Anything else will cause it to run like a bag of spanners...

Admittedly it was setup to only run on the higher octane stuff, but still  

[Jimbob]

Pre Omega
1.8 Astra and a 2.0 Mazda 626
Both These went better (faster, mpg, and smoother) on Optimax
1.8 Cav - Little difference.


2.2 Omega
Small increase on Vpower, but does feel smoother
3.0 Omega, not really noticiable, maybe a little better

So imho looks like smaller cars benefit more, bigguns like ours will burn anything!

I have noticed all our cars seem to not do so well and run rougher on Tesco's petrol
Will NOT put it in any now, even with 5p a litre off.

WHich magazine thought a Sony 950 had a poor picture - when it was winning awards for best picture

Which magazine is crap!

Depends on if the car is set up for it or not.  Makes the most difference on turbo cars in warm climates, so not likely to help a miggy in the UK.    

Also, if you just whack it in it takes at least a tank or two for many ECU's to adapt to take advantage of it.

Sorry, I'm a bit anal sometimes.  Case in point, a dictionary would not have corrected that.
