Is premium petrol worth the extra?

I know you are an advocate of premium petrol so I have been using Shell V-power. Are there any others which are just as good?

There's not much point using premium fuel unless you have a high performance car. Any petrol you can buy from UK petrol stations will be absolutely fine.
