A small surprise perhaps?
I do tend to fill up at Shell and normally go for Nitro as my car tends not to like the standard unleaded at 95 RON. Most of the time this is my preference although if I do get caught out, I'll sling any old crap in there. Much better to get home than be a petrol snob, in my opinion.
Yesterday I was deliberating whether to risk it with 5 miles range left and attempt a country lane excursion to Bletchingley and thought better of it and diverted to a Total (toe-tarl?) garage for quick sip of their super unleaded at Redhill. Stuck 20 quid in, and I have to admit that it's actually impressed me. I think it's still 97 RON but it does seem to have made a noticeable difference. I might go for half a tank next time at a local Total garage to see if my experience holds true.
