Which Petrol?
Just wanted to know if anyone has a preference for where they fill up? Or do you just use any old petrol stations?
I think all my cars run best on Esso Fuel… Maybe its all in my head, but i find Sainsburys to be the worst (Car feels Sluggish, Dont get as much Mileage)

some of the petrol like optimax have a higher octane rating but they are getting scarce now (least up our end), morrisons had some high octane stuff cheaper but they have just stopped that too, coals the future mate, coal!

I filled up with LRP at Sainsburys a couple of weeks ago (Wigan store). Bit of a novelty not having to add the Redex to the unleaded ..........

the Golf's ideal octane level is RON98! BP's optimax is 97 and standard is 95
