Default high octane fuel

bp has now starts ditrobution on their 102octane fuel
http://www.bp.com/sectiongenericarticle.do...ntentId=7016865 for it's locations.

anyone rich enough to fill their 2k up with it, or even live close to a depot?
love to see if it's worth it on a stock engine over regular, super or vpower fuel.
