Fuel brands and octanes [Poll included]

Unless the Iranians and Israelis start their nonsense again. Then watch it fly!

Or the Government get more greedy!

I run my E86 N52 on E10, E5 and left over race fuel depending on where I am and how poor I'm feeling ! The race fuel is usually Shell V-power with a dose of Torco unleaded fuel accelerator (250ml/20l) which adds about 4 octane points. I buy new for each race meeting and the Z is the only other car we have that can use it. I can't say I have ever noticed much difference between any of them although I probably don't do enough mileage for all the adaptions to work through fully. I don't keep consumption records other than the dash readout so don't know if there is any difference there.

Vpower or momentum

Which absolutely mirrors what the poll results look like (I didn't think splitting out the supermarket brands would be clever or appropriate at the time, perhaps I should have gone with the Tesco/Morrison split or something).

I have found the poll very helpful actually.

E5 is the popular choice regardless of brand, then, Momentum, then vPower(so Supermarket/Shell).

I have a lot more intel to go on than I had before posting.

In my case, the Momentum is a couple of miles further away than the vPower, so I need to figure out whether it's worth it but I'm definitely going to give it a shot.

Thanks all!
