Re: 98 octane petrol!!!
Optimax is no longer available, was replaced by V-Power. Most use normal octance too.

Re: 98 octane petrol!!!
Not in our cars no.... but it does clean the engine etc. Plus, ive tuned mine and has been dyno'd to 203 bhp and notice it runs alot better on v-power.
In more powerful cars its has been proven to make substancial power increases.

Re: 98 octane petrol!!!
I use v-power or high octane if (god forbid) I cant V-power. If I use 95ron my car does not run as well.

Re: 98 octane petrol!!!
+1.... 97 Octane, 2p more.
Sod paying for V-power when you can't even tell the difference.

I switched to Total 98ron a while back and my MPG dropped quite a bit...didn't think about it being the fuel but when I swapped it made a fair old difference...not much to performance tho (probably better for turbo'd engine as in the new Golf)

Re: 98 octane petrol!!!
I use BP Ultimate 97RON usually, but had a tank of Tesco 99 last time as I was low and it was convenient.
I ran it on 95RON at first and didn't really notice a performance different when I switched. In the interests of experimentation, I might try a diet of V-Power next....

Yes, although in general, i find my nearest shell garage to be very competive with it's 95 ron fuel prices.
Shell V-Power 110p or so a litre, and today Shell announce £13million in profits for last year.....

I use 95, makes no difference to the performance or mpg.

Re: 98 octane petrol!!!
I used to always run my 172 on 97 ron, or above. Now i just used 95 ron fuel, no difference in performance, just a bit more lumpy on idle.

Re: 98 octane petrol!!!
That doesn't sound right at all, £13 million is f**k all for an oil company. Did you mean £13 billion?
Petrol is expensive enough at the moment, 95 RON all the way. Only difference 98+RON makes is a negative one on your wallet IMO.
**EDIT** just seen the news, £13.9 billion profit for Shell. Rich f**kers. lol

Re: 98 octane petrol!!!
Will someone close this can o' worms?!? You might have to run a couple of tanks of super through the engine to notice a difference, but there really is nothing you can gain from asking that question on here. Mine runs better on VPower, so that's what it gets. Other people's run better, or at least no worse, on 95RON stuff. Yours might do either, so it's down to you to try both and see for yourself!

Re: 98 octane petrol!!!
v-power will cost more but will make a difference both at idle and through the rev range in mine. It will also have benefits for cleaning the engine and mpg, hense the sticker on the fuel cap
I am surprised, from the above posts that this has not been discussed before.
With a turbo engine the effects are far more noticable
