The handbook should tell you the minimum octane that can be used in the car. Anything above that won't make any difference without timing modifications.
Standard fuels have detergents in them these days anyway.

Handbook available here:

The site needs a VIN, it would be good if people could post the ratings for the different engines and years.

Some Suzukis and a bunch of motorcycles.

According to the sticker on the fuel cover ours needs 95ron being an 11/60 sz4. But like I said it is not happy with asda even though it is allegedly the same as the bp it does like.

Re. 11/60 comments on BP fuel and running sweet in his Jimny. My observations are based on the Supermarket company fuels I saw being loaded. I never saw a BP barrel/rig loaded at the facility we used and have no idea what there source is.

I do think Busta's comment amount the "placebo effect" are very true and I suppose we are all a little prone to suffer a bit of that.

The only benefit of age is experience.
