I didn't rate Super Unleaded, car felt sluggish compared to when using Optimax......I detour to make sure I get Optimax now, the extra few pence spent getting there well outweighs the extra £££ saved by using it (my fuel-economy shot up when using it over standard Unleaded - 300 miles per tank compared to about 225 per tank)

If ur gonna say its shit at least give a reason mate! In Japan dont they use 100 or even 101 RON fuel? So maybe 98 compared to that is shit. But in general it is not shit.

japan they use 101 ron , thats what im supposed to run on , but living in the country you try finding optimax at 98 , it has to be super plus.
