/fixed.

Hardy, get yourself a plastic funnel (50p) and a plastic measuring jug (£1). Fit nicely where the jack is.

Yep, half a bottle a fillup. When it gets the empty mark, i know it's about 49-50l, so half a bottle.

I felt funny the first few times filling up, but no-one has said or lOOked funny at it. Half the bottle goes in real quick. Keep the empty bottles to have half bottles ready.

Do you folks use octane booster in addition to VPower, or only when you can't get any VPower ?

Since being introduced to it I use it with every tank but it will do six tanks under normal driving conditions as I add about 50 litres at a time. When I get the car mapped with V-Power and 1ml per litre NF I will go up tp 2mls per litre when I know I am going to give the car the beans on that particular tank.
Unless the car was mapped with a big NF content I don't see how putting in half a bottle can be worthwhile.
