What fuel do you guys use?

Hey guys, i think i opened a can of worms with my carby thread, gonna open another one

What brand of petrol do you guys use in your cars? I know to chuck in premium 98 as there's no LRP/Super anymore, but what brands give you guys the best results?

I was using Shell VPower, I was told that VPower has a fair bit of ethanol in it? Made the switch to BP Ultimate with flashlube, car feels like it's running a bit smoother. Interested to hear everyone's thoughts on the issue.

Highest octane at whatever servo I happen to be passing when I need fuel.

I stay away from the independents as I've had problems with dodgy blends.

Standard unleaded will make no difference to your valve seats.

i usually try n get the premo shtuff,
but is that true about shell v-power? i thought thatd be top of the line.
ive used it before, and a lot of others,
cant say it really makes a notable difference whichever fuel i use

anyway..
