cheers
I'm sure I read that every car sold in the UK has to run on standard 95 fuel. You sholud be ok if your using booster - the ECU should adjust the ignition timing to compensate for a slightly lower octane, although this will mean you will loose some power.
Have you tried Nitrous Formular octane booster? I've never used it, but it's supposed to be good stuff and cheaper than Millers.
