Shell v power or tesco momentum. Which 99 is better for tuned 2.0 Tfsi KO4

[Jmate]

You do all realise that the fuels are about exactly the same?

Up in the north I know that tesco and bp 'vpower' is exactly the same, taken from the same shore tanks. The only difference is shell who have alot of different additives, (which albeit keep messing up)

I still run regular / premium unleaded as the cost is far to much for the miles I do in my cupra

If that's the situation I'd change cars. Using 95 RON in a Cupra is like putting on budget tyres

I've never run 95 RON in my Cupra but I am told by people I know that you'll typically see 20-30 more miles from V Power per tank as well as significant power improvements.

They also say that they notice lumpy performance when using 95 RON almost immediately.

I might run down my tank and use Momentum for a few weeks and see what happens.

Not noticed any issues with running or performance. The label inside says minimum 95 and as far as I know the premium unleaded is 97 (I think, but either way I've had no issues )

When I put V Power in there was no difference in performance that I could tell either.

We have several focus ST's at work and they all run on standard unleaded, some have done 153k and not missed a beat.

these fuel threads crack me up serious. You always get the individuals that swear by the 95 (whereas everyone knows, and they do too) that any PERFORMANCE car would prefer the 98 day to day, month to month.

All this "my car has run fine on it for years" etc etc. Yeh we know it will run fine on 95, but 99 or even 98 is always gonna be more benefitial.

Didn't disbelieve u just funny how Cupra says 95 and sport says 98
