any recomendations for which fuel to use in my new car? would using premium help aid performance or fuel consumption? and would filling with premium then regular do any harm or anything? as you can probably tell, this is my 1st proper car and am a steep learning curve. thanx for your help

Super unleaded (98+) is recommended for the 3.2, it will run on 95 octane but give less power and lower fuel economy, won't do any damage though. I try to feed mine with Shell V power.

I have found no discernible difference between different garages' super unleaded in terms of MPG. I normally use Esso simply because it is on the way home. Try them all and see what suits you best. Enjoy your new car!

I run my 3.2 on Tesco 99 or V-Power (also 99 RON)

Ordinary 95 RON is fine & probably works out cheaper in the long run than the good stuff.
