Super unleaded
Discussion
Posted here as this is a general Speed 6 question/observation.
99% of the time I have had my car it has been filled with Shell Optimax, or whatever it's been called in the past 10 years. This was purely based on the information found on here and I've never had a reason to switch. However last week I got a low fuel warning when only a couple of miles from a Tesco station so stopped for a quick splash and dash. Looking at how cheap it was though I thought what the hell fill her up. Next day start up and straight away it felt smoother and after warming up the pops bangs and explosions were doubled
(what a great smilie, this is exactly what each exhaust sounds like).
So was wondering what others had experienced. I am going for a retune in the new year, but now wondering whether to have it mapped purely for 97 or 99 octane? Obviously will take advice from whoever does the work but interested in others thoughts.
Bad experience with standard octane so will never use that again btw.

Some interesting replies thanks. I will be sticking to Shell as their fuel has kept my engine clean for the last 10 years a bit of a no brainer, especially if as Incognegro says they may be up to 99 octane now it will mean I have an extra option for Tescos special pops and bangs!
I am deciding whether to refit some sports cats for longer journeys next year but need to balance that with shorter trip aural pleasures
, but will have the remap done over the winter anyway to experience the difference.
