I read somewhere (probably here) that it takes 3 tanks of v-power until all the low ron stuff is gone entirely.

It does. I'm certainly not arguing Mattys point as he's a mate on here, Bob Rawle said to me when mapping my Scoob that three full tanks of the good stuff is required to dilute the normal stuff enough to rid the chances of a fubared engine from poor fuel. In that time of three tanks you will be driving like miss daisy too, which on a td04 is fûckin' hard to do

With all due respect, surely you must have had some clue as to what you were putting in the tank? At least it wasn't diesel!

Unlike the discontinued Octane Plus, Millers don't recommend continued use of CVL in cat equiped cars.

What model and year car? Is it UK/EU model or a Jap import? modified?
As SOME imprezas can run on 95Ron all day long without any issue..
