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.

Perhaps you should hop off and learn to spell, then reregister as a trader and post in the appropriate place.
