    I see you have 71 posts.. Were they all recent and asking different questions on buying and running a car?

    Fuel is fuel. One car may appear to run better on one fuel. But the next car off the production line may prefer another.

    It's not always about feeling, there is logic and emotion, you are asking and emotional question about something that follows the laws of physics and chemistry, then there is the old tired fable about supermarket fuel watered down and additives etc
    My last car didn't like the 99RON from Tesco, but then the book suggests 95/98 RON, the current car doesn't mind the Tesco 99, and gives fewer MPG on Asda 95, but then £1.27 vs £1.32 litre, but at the end of the day, get a vehicle that will suit your needs without hurting you in your pocket too much.

    I find the customer service better in supermarket fuel stations than at BP.
