Petrol

[B+B]

Topped up with £20 worth of shell hi-performance £1.09 litre, and noticed quite a difference:y: faster pickup and better topend running. I don't think it was my imagination! anyone else tried it?

[Saxo-Slag]

Nope aint tried it but shell tends to be better fuel

[OLLYVTS]

I have tried loads of topend fuels and i havent noticed a difference in performance but i did get a slight better mpg.

[B+B]

I did try it out in the c2vts and was well down on mpg from 150-160mpg for £20 to 125mpg on the same run! maybe the 16v engine in the c2 is built for the lower octane?
I'll see how the saxo goes tomorrow on the same run.

dont use shell hi performace, so cant comment.

dont use supermarket petrol either, believe they have less octanes (sp?) than shell/esso/bp etc.

You mean V-Power? I didn't think it was worth it... Didn't notice anything in my VTR

[hesslevtr]

all in the mind imo

there would b still normal fuel in the system so still wouldnt be the full ron rating anyway

[Japman]

i use V power

[Ross-1987]

how does octane(sp) effect your mpg ?

[rushy_23]

I use V-power and BT Ultimate. Dont really know if theres a difference as Ive
used it since day one of the GTi.

Dont think I couldnt not use it now. Would feel guilty.

[VTR_Nick]

i usually use premium now 97 octane instead of 95 octane because i notice the difference between the 2. Just seems a little more responcive witht he 97 octane :)

[SaxoJamie]

I don't think V-power does anything for my car performance wise but it did seem very slightly more economical

That is usually the case.

Shouldn't really notice any difference on lower powered cars but def noticable on tweaked vts's etc

[andywiddss1]

i allways use 97 octane an it does make a difference on tuned vts ect

[rushy_23]

Need proof man!

[Steve]

i use v-power now and then 106.9 a ltr it was up here.
notice a difference car runs alot smoother, wouldnt say its mega fast just feels to run nice

before anyone says anything my dad had topped the car up with fuel the other day, i mentioned its running nice then he broke the news he had accidently stook v-power in lol

wouldnt notice nowt in a 1.1:A:

[andywiddss1]

need proof of what mate if u dont belive it then dont put it in fella

[Anushka101]

it sounds like something a chav would say "oh yeh man i used this petrol last night and my car was flying!" :p but really i must say i have used Shell once on my 1.0 scandal, normally it tops out on 85 (according to the speedo) but that time it did actually go up to 90mph. have no idea about mpg thou.

[djrem]

in spain yo ucan get 105 grade :)

[b0t13]

i put some in my furio and i noticed it ran alittle smoother, also got an extra 5-6miles from £10 on exact same route i always do..

[welsh_rich]

I filled up with v-power the other day, after usually always running on 95, does seem slightly more smoother, nothing amazing though. Nice to know i'll get more mpg out of it though. Does my head in having to go and fill up

[bridgesvtr90]

Didnt notice any change with V-power in my vtr
