However the claims for vpower, etc, are not just based on the octane rating. All the best Keith

I used a few tankfulls to get the toy Ferraris for my son - they're really good! During recent petrol supply probs i had to put Vpower in the Clio as 95ron had run out. I think it did go a bit better. John

Does it make any diffference? a friends girlfriend runs this on her toyota yaris and has noticed better fuel consumption that negates the price difference and performance increase.
