Default fuel probs

hi can anyone tell me a good octane booster that i can use?
in shetland we only have 95 ron. i have just filled the car up and added millers octane booster but it doesnt seem to of made any deference!
only had the car 1 week so filled it up in aberdeen with super unleaded before getting on the boat to shetland but used it all up and now trying to get a good octane booster.
price of our fuel has just gone up again no the cheapest 95 ron is 103.9 per litre that is day light robbery
cheers
mark

It's unlikely you'll notice a difference to be honest, but the booster will be doing it's job nonetheless. If the car's been run on 95RON, try resetting the ECU (can be done by disconnecting the battery overnight).

I used to use Millers Octane Plus, however found that since I switched to "Prolong" the car runs smoother and I'm getting a couple of extra miles per gallon.
