In my 140 VVTI I've used -

BP Ultimate (97 ron)

Shell V-Power (98 ron)

Tesco Superunleaded (99 ron)

Tesco bioeth (97 ron)

For me I felt BP Ultimate performed the best, offering the best response and mileage. So I'd give it 10/10

V-Power is what I normally use (local garage), performs good with good mileage. So 9/10

Tesco Super, I've used once and performed equal to V-Power. So 8.5/10

Tesco bio, was crap. Performed like normal unleaded but with half the mileage. So 3/10

As the Celica isn't really designed for really high 'ron' like say an EVO, you won't have to go that high to get the best out of it. If you can fork out for Ultimate regularly, I'd say get that. If not stick with V-Power, if you do that it will perform the same. Plus get a points card, that way after a while you can get fuel vouchers.

Saying all this though, everybody will have different experiences with each fuel. That is becuase each engine isn't the same. We're all human, but we don't all like the same milk!

Hope this helps.
