If your driving like miss daisy then why not just use regular Unleaded or super? and fill up with high octane fuel when you want to give it death.

Been paying £1.069 up here in Aberdeenshire for a long time, that's for BP ultimate, I think the Vpower is about the same. Seems like a rip off when you think the raw material comes from just off our coast line

Still, would not have bought the scooby if fuel was a worry but I hear you all the same. Car only does 20 mpg but then it could be worse it might only do 18 mpg

In Romford (Essex) V-Power is 7p dearer than the ordinary unleaded at 101.9 at my local station. Tends to fluctuate up and down a penny from week to week.

Never use normall unleaded on scoobs especially jap-imports!!! Engines dont last long. Worth spending a bit on decent fuel.

99.9ppl in Kempston

Think Tesco 99 is about 1p less a litre. However, I've got the RR graphs showing that my car really doesn't like Tesco so...

I pay 85p ltr. Live in NI near the border so go to Southern Ireland for my fuel. It's normal unleaded which is not a problem on euro spec Subarus's. Had mine over two years it's decatted with a panel filter and has not missed a beat.

And yes I do drive it properly

I normally fill the Octy with Tesco 99 RON @ 99.9/litre. Had to put BP Ultimate in on Sunday = 104.9/litre

And that was in Dalgety Bay - by no means the back of beyond. Two miles up the road was a Shell station with V-Power @ 102.9/litre

The thing was with the Tesco petrol thing it was a contaminant which could happen to anyone but i do believe the Super unleaded (97 and 99) were unaffected as i was using during the 'crisis'.

I don't touch BP ultimate with a barge pole my car just doesn't like it (93wrx)
