Just drop a bottle of Millers VSP in there now and then, it's fantastic stuff and IHMO the only one worth using

Try it and see if your car likes it. Blue has never run better than when I used to put Tesco LRP in. It hates optimax, BP ultimate and Tesco 99 don't float it's boat either. Now I just use tesco 95 which gives the best result. Other cars give utterly different results, only your car knows what it likes best.
