Running on super unleaded makes a huge difference. Not only to the way it runs (no pinging in city traffic, crisper delivery out of the city) but you also get better mpg. I would suggest getting you're petrol at Sainsbury's. Super is 'only' 3p a liter more. At least it was when I was last in Blighty...

This would suggest that your ignition timing is way too advanced.

Depends on the alternative, if it's only regular 91, then AON/AKI is indeed way too low: (91+ 82.5)/2 << 91
