Fuel
Fuel light came the other day on my way home so,as I had little choice,filled half a tank with Tesco regular 95 ron unleaded. I have driven a further 50 miles since and if anything the car is performing better than it ever did on 98 & I was happy with it then!
Am I missing something here ? Anyone else had similar experience ?

It's in your head...the car shouldn't run better on a lesser standard fuel.
Your MPG will be better on 97 (98 not available in the UK AFAIK) or 99 RON than 95.

Don't run them on shit petrol.
I'm sure I remember reading these cars dont have knock sensors (the ability to retard ignition on shit petrol). You risk pre-detonation in the cylinders which will result in a large bill.
Stick to Vpower.

depends what the ECU is tuned for.
EU/UKDM cars can run fine on 95 iirc.
JDM's need 97-98 minimum else it runs bad, feels 30bhp down and just generally hesitant.

Would be a pretty big design flaw if it didn't for numerous reasons
