BP ultimate 97 RON
V Power 99 RON
Tescos do 2 supers 97 RON and 99 ROn (i don't know why but where i live Dorset all their super is 99 RON).
I'm pretty sure most supermarkets do a super u/l petrol now

So best to stick to 97 and above for a standard import with some octane boost or V power would you say

Basically yes.
I run a 93 wrx and only use Vpower or Tescos 99 ron as i have about 6 garages in the local area but do carry some OB just in case.
