I find I get marginally better mileage with 97ron petrol instead of 95ron. Engine feels smoother as well. But I dont think its worth the extra 5 to 10p per liter for the most part.
I also drink Port and I'm not ashamed to say it!

After reading your origional post I used the last few vapours in the tank yesterday to find a shell station, filled her up and set the counter to zero.
I usually do about 200 miles per week so the longer it takes me to post again the better.
