Default [OT] 99 Octane petrol

I've been around long enough to know that most who find differences in
petrol are fooling themselves - unless using too low an octane rating for
the design of the engine.


There is just one difference - the price.

Many years ago I worked on a non self service forecourt. There was a
class of customer who clearly bought 'five star' because they could
afford it, and wanted to flaunt it. I doubt that much has changed.
