A friend at work has a Focus ST and up to now has been using supermarket petrol.
Does the engine managment have knock sensors to detect petrol quality and run more advance/boost with the good stuff?

cheers

yes they do, not sure how much extra it will make, prob only a few bhp

Super makes a massive difference. At 4.5k revs there is a much bigger kick than 95RON

I only ran mine on Super

Hi,

I have a ST and have used supermarket petrol since i purchased the car. However i thought that i would give the Shell V-Power a try.

I instantly noticed a difference with the V-Power petrol, the car seemed to idle better and pulled alot harder.

Defiantly worth putting in a tank or 2 in just t expercience the diference.

Hope this helps.

I'd never use Supermarket petrol it's generally low grade cheap crap.

Leave that for Corsas and Micras not a performance Ford! Super makes a big difference I've found on many cars I've owned.

Definitely feels faster and more willing to accelerate to me with Super unleaded

I find it hard to reach for the SU hose when you are allowed to choose either
