Not tried it myself, but I'm told a lot of good things about Esso's new Fuel - Synergy Supreme + 99 RON.
For a starter it is apparently ethanol free.
It contains 'double detergent additives and a friction modifier'.
99 RON makes it a good match for the old Capri engines and it seems to be selling about a penny a litre cheaper than Shell VPower.
The big thing in all this is ethanol free! You'd have to do a lot of miles before the extra cost of it outweighed the cost of overhauling your fuel system that ethanol has degraded.

Re: Esso Fuel - No Ethanol
I am sick of replacing the disintegrating little o rings on my 40s so will definitely seek out this "petrol" of which you speak 
I'm the one that leaves all those shoes in the carriageway.

Re: Esso Fuel - No Ethanol
It is just a matter of using Viton-O-rings.
I am going with E85, running great so far for 3 years.
Totaly Supreme fuel compared to 98E5, since it same as 106 octane and burn colder, so allows more
exhaust flow, also you can get 2-3 ignition advance on full power. Only fault is that it won't work well in coldstarts.
