95 ron a no no for the 182?
It can take a few fills for the ecu to adapt so you'd need to plan ahead and use Vpower for a couple of weeks first.
Has anyone seen a noticeable difference between the 95 ron and higher octane fuels? As I use both from time to time and to be honest never seem to notice a difference in performance or economy but a possible better idle! I've seen a few tests been done but from what I can gather it seems to make more difference on a turbo charged engine.
I'd have thought buying a fuel system cleaner from halfords would walk out better value.
A work colleague tested the MPG of normal and super, and concluded that super improved the MPG in almost exact proportion to the extra cost.
I've only had my Trophy 5 weeks or so and after a couple of tank fulls switched to BP ultimate (97) from standard 95 and must say I noticed a difference. Car is less lumpy from cold and seems to pull better through the gears. Surprisingly it also seems willing to rev to the 7200rpm redline. A lot of the time on 95 the limiter would cut in at 6800rpm. Anyone else had this? :?

Well, when i bought my 172 over on the mainland, I had a hefty journey ahead of me (Stevenage > Stranraer in 7 hours inc rush hour 
)
So i bobbed into a Shell and brimmed it with the VPower stuff.
The car was smooth, powerful and revved like a nut box to the limiter
Since I have been home, I have filled it with the best I can as we dont have VPower here in NI at all.
Car is more notably lumpy at idle and is definately not as nutty at the top end.
