Think you will find most use optimax, if you have an aftermarket mappable ecu get it retuned, the other big one most will testify to is the c##p Jap tyres best to replace them asap. HTH

i use optimax but used to fill up on 99, however i found that the 99 ron doesnt seem to last as long as optimax -

I use Tesco\'s 99 most of the time, but after every few tankfulls of that I put some Optimax in because of the detergents.  I am running a jap rommed ECU on my FC - and it\'s tuned for the 99 RON fuel - but it works fine on the Tesco / Optimax stuff.
