Just a quick one.... does the V8 Vantage (new breed) need super unleaded? The handbook is non specific and the info inside the fuel flap just states 'use unleaded fuel only'. I went to a garage for my first fill (thirsty cow) and they didn't have super so I used normal stuff, seems fine.

Thanks.

It will happily live on normal, but you are losing out on at least 11 bhp realistically as seen in tests, and its a crime not to give such a nice engine what it needs to reach its potential.
