you should use a good quality fuel like shells v power which is 98 ron or even abit more than that i think haven't heard very good things about the supermarket petrol like tescos 99 as its made cheap, there are threads on this topic with a bit of research you can get some good info and will be able to make your own mined up on what would be the best to use

Use the best you can find - Shell V Power for me (cos I get the points as well ) failing that any Super Unleaded or Esso Ultimate to tied me over until I'm at a V Power station.

Cheap/low octane fuel = expensive engine rebuild (usually anyway)

Having said that I've been forced to put 95 Ron unleaded in the car when I've had no choice, and it's not done any harm - put in enough to get you to your usual station and don't thrash the car on the way !

I normally use Morrisons super unleaded, with occasionally V power

Only Shell for me but thats because my car has been been mapped for it, Loads of shell garages around, Noramlly fill up at Sarn as it's always about halfway and they arn't that badly priced. Plus the points are building up nicely!!!!!
