Stopped on the way into work for fuel and decided to try this as I'd seen it mentioned on here before, and I was just curious.
On driving away thought it felt immediately smoother and a bit more responsive, though I appreciate this is probably just my imagination, particularly as I had been almost on fumes at that point 
I've reset the mpg as well, just to see if there's any comparison.
At 7p per litre over the standard 95, I'm almost hoping there is no real benefit, as I couldn't afford to use it full time, or I'll never get the money together for the gas conversion 

I should also add that lately I've been avoiding the supermarket pumps, and although I haven't kept a really close eye on it, I do think the mpg is up by using other forecourts. Only slightly, but up nonetheless

Very subjective topic.

Me, myself, with anything I have owned, the fuel used (supermarket or otherwise) hasn't made an ounce of difference.

Apparently, on very heavily tuned engines, the difference is night and day.

Now I always have noticed a difference between supermarket and brand, the diesel even more so

It does a grand job of keeping my emissions light off.

I only notice it in newer engines, my Omega (2000) I never noticed any difference, my SAAB (2006) however used to love V-Power. All modern engines seem to like it, and run better  .

run my rover on that with octane booster + lead replacement=goes fine (buick needs 100 octane )
But miggy always use 95 as I only use it on start up-lpg most of time money I save gets gulped by rover

Are the old fuel black magic, lots of nasty stuff that use to get put in,tolune,benzines,liquid oxygenmethonaland some i cant pronounce or spell.,some of the F1 fuels when used in a road car,then put on the rollers made it lose power.
  i use either tesco 99 or sainsbees 97 both are proven on the rollers,up to 10bhp gain on a std engine in good tune,more with a race engine,.
