I've tried it in my present car and a previous one. Didn't make any difference to power or economy.  Neither car was/is set up to take advantage of increased octane ratings.  Some cars are able to make use of it.

The extra cleaning agents in it may make a difference over a few months if the engine is badly clogged.  :confused:

I use V-Power solely in mine though my car is tuned to benefit from it, I don't think it would make much difference in a vehicle not setup for it and the added cleaning benefits can be found in 95 octane fuel...just not the anti-friction benefits found in V-Power.
