Our current car wants to run the expensive 99 ron stuff, it gets 95 and is happy with it. I have had several cars that need the special stuff and all have run fine on petrol bought anywhere, even supermarkets.

Whilst in the Fire Brigade we had a tour of the refinery at Hesham. One thing I noticed, tankers of all brands were leaving the refinery, Shell, Esso, etc. They all stopped in the layby, the drivers would then climb on top with a five gallon jerry can and add a coloured dye.
They all left the refinery from the same filling points, yet when they delivered it was as a specific brand.
The only difference these days is the octain rating and unleaded, diesels diesel, no matter where it comes from, those of other qualities are for farm tractors or stationary engines.
