Usually try and put Tesco 99 in but I have also put Sainsbury's 97 octane in and have seen no difference in economy or performance. Don't use 95 octane ever.

Let us know if you notice any difference. I wonder if it takes a few tanks for the difference to occur?

I believe it takes a full tank to reset the ecu

You've just dumped £40k on a car and you're going to quibble over a few pence on petrol, the mind boggles with some of you lot
