You'll get better MPG on 97/98 ron, the cars designed to use it, although it will run on crappy jungle juice its better to use the premium stuff.

You will have to run it on a few tankfulls of the higher octane fuels such as V-power before you notice any effects.

I find better mpg returns, and the car idles better, as for better performance, not really.

I had a 205 1.4xs which had a twin choke carb. That thing used to fly on high octane fuels, felt much more willing.
don't notice it on my valver
