The Power of V for me, always and every time. A few pence more than standard so no biggy.

If you live in an area where 99RON is a available (whichever brand) go for that.

Have always used Optimax/V-Power but a massive Tesco recently opened and have been using 99 RON Momentum, can't tell the difference tbh.

I run mine on 95ron as we don't have anything better this side of the pond. Car runs fine.
