Last week I got caught out near on empty and had to stick some normal unleaded in..........Can I tell the difference?

My word yes the car feels like it's running like a bag of nails to be honest! Switching back the other way you can clearly notice the difference!

I agree going from normal unleaded to the likes of v power and bp ultimate seems like it's only making a small difference but as soon as you revert back it runs like s***e v-power all the way it's the stella artois of the petrol world
