It's the additives - of lack thereof - that makes the difference.

For what it's worth, Tesco's 99 RON superunleaded _appears_ to show
noticeably poorer mileage in my turbopetrol compared with all other fuels
I've so far tried.

Weirdly, I always used to think the extra couple of RONs in the Tesco stuff
compared to, say, BP Ultimate, made it the better choice - though I never
made anything remotely near to a proper comparison.

What's the general consensus in terms of what's better out of BP Ultimate or
Shell Optimax (if they're still using that brand name) ?

For most cars, it won't make any difference at all.

However, I do suffer less carb icing on the *** old Ducati if I run it
on Super in cooler weather.

My friendly Duke mechanic looked at me as if I was some kind of pikey
when he found out I used 'normal' fuel in it!
