High Octane fuel...

[polo54]

Would it make a difference to my car if I filled up with Optimax or V-Power, or is a waste of money?

Waste of money on most N/A machinery. Turbocharged cars it can increase performance and some high performance cars are mapped to run on high octane fuel only. For everyday motoring in a normal car, it's not worth the extra cost over normal petrol.

My 1.6 Ti-VCT Focus gets the V Power treatment every 3-4 fill ups just to keep the engine in good nick.

It might be a similar case in your car

Deja vu I believe, quite a common question on here.

Keep it under your hat, but someone near me sells 110 RON fuel for half the price of unleaded. Shhh.

p.s. no, it won't make a difference.

LPG is wonderfully cheap, no local garages stock it here not that it would make a difference to me of course.
