Default quick one about fuel

My car is running a PP chip, set up to run on Esso Supreme 97 ron.
I filled up with V Power today as it was all i could get, and since then my car has felt really sluggish... Is this down to the V Power being a higher octane? Could i have caused any damage?

Using V power would have no detrimental effect on the performance of the car unless of course it was a dodgy bit. I would probably say it's a mixture of the very hot weather and perhaps a full tank!

The octane rating of the fuel relates to it's resistance to knock, so the higher the better at the end of the day.
