What's the score with the new V Power Nitro +, is that just all about better cleaning abilities?

Regular unleaded here is high grade.  We get 95 ron, US, Japan etc get 87-91 ish in regular.
Regular here is premium compared to a lot of places.

nice one Lawrence I didn't realise that, Is that the same for diesel, cos it,s actually a turbo diesel.?

I put the cheapest cheapest cheeeappest fuel possible in all my vehicles. Including my E55 (5.4L V8). A higher octane fuel resists pre-ignition, compared to lower octane fuel, that is all! My car will listen for engine knocking, and retard the timing if it does, and the bike is carbed so doesnt matter either way (the listening for knocking is done by me!)

The diesel bike! Now that gets anything! Veg oil, old engine oil, ATF fluid, bit of a petrol. etc etc

That's not quite true
According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octane_rating
due to different ways of measuring octane (RON, MON, AKI...)
"... the octane rating shown in Canada and the United States is 4 to 5 points lower than the rating shown elsewhere in the world for the same fuel."
