It is - the quoted performance and economy values are subject to the use of 98 RON fuel. This is quite clearly explained in the user manual.

Woo.
Morrison's just over the road from me now.
Shame the Shell garage within eyesight is still 3-4ppl more
It's a franchise, rather than a proper Shell, so is rarely competitive on prices
Also a shame, given that I really need SUL for my VR-4, and those two are my closest petrol stations.

Make your own SUL using ultra cheap fuel and some Ebay octane booster. It'll go well with your home made brakes and bargain tyres
Ugh. I just paid 121.9 for "common brew" 95 Ron at a Shell, although this was just outside the centre of London .
I've really got to try out this Tesco 99 Ron stuff if it isn't that much more. V-power was 128.9!
.
No ill effects from the commoners fuel yet, but I'd rather run super just to be sure.

Yes well done, you managed to repeat the original post. Question is, why?
No competition round my way, standard fuel in Morrisions is still 119.9 per litre, many, many years ago they used to compete with a petrol station just opposite till they bought it out and turned it into a car jetwash place.
We know, the original post tells us that it is nationwide.
I always use Shell V-Power because its the best fuel you can buy in the UK, my car is a Japanese import and was mapped for 100RON fuel so If I use standard unleaded the knock sensor will adjust the timings and lower performance, BP/Sainsburys super unleaded is only 97RON and Tescos super unleaded is low quality crap

I pay $1.92 (89p) a litre for 98 RON here. It was $1.79 (83p) a few months ago
That's at an exchange rate of £1 : $2.15. A year ago, the conversion rate would have been much, much cheaper than 89p or 83p.

Still paying £1.31 a litre here in Malvern for Texaco SUL Shame Morrisons decided to install biodiesel pumps as opposed to SUL when they refurbished the petrol station last year! (I've never seen anyone buy any of it)

I don't doubt that the manual is correct and that there is a gain, but in reality its undetectable ime.

The price of fuel in Malvern is always stupid. I am there a lot as my girlfriend lives there and I make a point of never filling up there.
