    i used the high octane stuff in my old 1991 polo, it made not a blind bit of difference, it has the same effect as using redex. It does make a big difference as others have said in high performance engines, in my bike i find its very noticable!! In the polo just stick with the cheap stuff and occasionalty treat the car with some redex.

    Whip the sparkplugs out and squirt about 50ml down each, leave for 30, turn over with them out for a minute or so, put back in then put some down your air intake with the air filter out IF and only IF its a carb car along with your usual tank treatments VROOM
    You may think I'm being helpful yet sarcastic, this is only because I feel I need to help you to help yourself in the future
