   Try it out for yourself.
   
   Will help the car run abit cleaner / better.. May even get a extra pony.
   
   I always run 99 octane.. Get better mpg and runs smoother. But that's a 16v with high compression - so can make 'more' use of it.

   Of course, It's just petrol. Just slightly cleaner / higher octane.

   To be ohnest when i used to use it, you would only notice the slight gain after a couple of fill ups , but saying that i only put a tenner in at a time aha,
   
   Really do notice the differnce tho, idles better, smoother acceleration

   Small tank if a tenner fills it..
   
   You won't notice much of a difference unless you actually have decent power and a decent engine...
   
   A 1.4 might run a little smoother, but its doubtful you will actually feel much of a difference in running

    I use Vpower in the 200.
    
    May just be placebo but MPG seems to be better but if you offset this with the extra cost, it probably works out the same.
