Do you guys really notice a difference? or is it the placebo effect?

My car def runs slightly off, even on Ultimate..... & dreadful on 95 RON. My car was mapped on Optimax, though, so not a fair comment, really.

I got a load of Optimax last night from the Shell in Cwmbran Gaz if you need any. They have a load up there!

Is it 98RON or High than that?
