My DIS reads 22.8, but I think it's widely acknowledged that they read high. I also did some work form the spreadsheet data that showed that Shell V Power was better than BP Ultimate in terms of MPG, and I think it's higher octane too.
As you can see, I hardly ever use BP any more, not just 'cos I think the Shell stuff is better, but because the staff at the BP station on the way to work (A82 at Milton) are a bunch of dozy dossers who often leave you stood at the pump for ages before they stop chatting and turn it on! I've had to go and knock on the kiosk window quite a few times. And they're too busy stocking shelves and serving coffee to deal with the queue of people at the tills. And don't start me about people who do their weekly shop at a petrol station..... 
Right, off to take my medication...
