not unless your car needs 102 ron fuel, which not many do. wont make the slightest bit of difference to 99% of cars on the road. plus ts very expensive isnt it?

i thought it was like £2 a litre! as said v power is good enough for most cars, i'm sure 102 ron would make a difference to some highly tuned engines.

Its £2.42 a litre at the garage nearest me. Theres also one in MK apparently so could be useful for people going to the pod who dont want to spend £100 in fuel just gettting there.
