Which? did a review and concluded that in petrol engines it does make a difference (which I'd expect as modern engines have knock sensors that will advance the ignition timing with higher octane/more knock resistant fuel), and for diesels it made doesn't make a difference (can't comment as I don't really know how the better quality affects a diesel...).

See the recent threads in the S40 and XC90 forums on premium versus ordinary diesels. Fifth Gear did a back-to-back dyno test in a Citroen C5 2.2, which showed V-Power and Ultimate diesel gave an immediate 6bhp (around 4%) increase compared with supermarket stuff, with no ECU adaptation etc.
That's not bad for an extra £4 per tankful. |

you should be careful as if the mods or admins come this way, they might kick you off the site for spamming.
