Yes; the artist formally known as 'Optimax'. I read that 'Optimax' was minimum 98 RON - more like 98.5 & 'V-Power' is supposed to be at least 98.5 RON & more like 99. I find the 97 Esso super unleaded is pretty good though. A couple of years ago BP brought out (in selected; primarilly South East filling stations) a 101RON, but it was very expensive & I think was withdrawn?

What's the reason to pay more expensive fuel than needed?
 I think Audi for DZ engine had specified 95E. Higher octane rating than manufacturer had specified means that u can increase compression and/or boost, if u haven't done anything of that, it's just waste of money Btw in estonia one guy owns Toyota Supra with 1k bhp which is daily car and which runs on 95E - at last some years ago it was like that, maybe now there has something changed. |

Ahh, I'll take a look in autodata, it may be because of primitive ignition - my 3A needs 95E
