French and Italian petrol
Some friends and I are planning a road trip down to the south of France and into Italy. I've read a few of the posts dotted about regarding fuel but I just want to make sure.
I've got a spec c and I haven't had it mapped for UK fuel yet (not had it that long) so it is still mapped for Japanese fuel. In the UK I get 99 octane from Tescos or Shell.
What are my options in France and Italy? I've read that a lot of people saying French fuel is rubbish, what petrol stations should I be looking out for? What's fuel in Italy like? Should I take octane booster and if so how much? A bottle per tank?
Thanks

French fuel does seem to be naff re max octane ratings 98 max I seem to recall.
However, and sorry, but not very helpful, some countries/fuel companies run 100 and even 102 octane but I can't remember which although reasonably certain in Austria and Switzerland.
Fuel in Italy very expensive so fill up before you get there and don't leave it until the last minute as local fuel near the border tends to rise in cost.
