Question Waitrose Super Unleaded?

I have been risking 95RON in UK MY99 for the last month since buying the car but apparently I should be placed in Muppet section- so after a bit of research Waitrose Super (98RON)is 92.9p - far cheaper than any other local stations and after phoning their H/O they tell me its BP fuel.
Anyone run on Waitrose?

Never used Waitrose for fuel, but if it's BP super, then that would be BP Ultimate (which is 97 RON). Most people on here don't rate it and say their car runs poorly. Personally, at that price I would try it and see how your car performs. It must be better than using 95 RON.

Well, got a full tank - probably imagining things but seems a lot smoother already. Should I have taken the crust off the pie before inserting into petrol tank?

Yes indeed it was 97 RON not 98 as customer services advised me. What a funny World we lve in - 92.9p from Waitrose - BP down road 99p.
