Someone on FB has put that it will be 110ron?

I have a tank full outside in my wife's Impreza.

Be interesting to see if it makes a sod of difference. Price was the same a V Power.

I've used half a tank of the new stuff. It does make the throttle feel more crisp. It has a 5% ethanol content apparently
