which petrol???

[91rocco]

I have just started putting super unleaded in my 20vt cupra,I think there is a big difference in performance over 95ron unleaded,Who else uses super and can you guys tell the difference????

 

[iancupra]

I always used Optimax/ V Power. Had it mapped to use V Power aswell. Only used regular unleaded 2/3 times but never noticed any difference apart from a few more miles.

always use super. not impressed with BP. so dont use that.

i always use v power or before that optimax put normal 95 in for a long jurney and car didnt want to boost at all took ages to pick up and felt really bad! v power or good super is the best to put in it and i think makes alot of difference!

I'm interested in this too

have always used 95 ron in my fr but am thinking of using v power or somthing

is it worth the extra money?

do you get more mpg?

or should I try it and see?

 

[gazjones]

try it and see i only used 95 when i first got it them used 97 and felt better but since its beem mapped ive used the hiest available the difference in the way it picks up is so good!

Tesco 99 is good when used in a smart, and its cheaper than V Power etc. I've not tried it in a SEAT tho.

 

[gazjones]

i hpe not it wont like it in a tdi lol
saying that ive not tried tesco but supposed to be good!

In my little smart is likes either V power or Tesco 99! Doesnt like Ultimate tho.

In my Ibiza im currently using Tesco diesel, cos I got a 5p/litre off thing. My local Shell does the std diesel, not Extra

I'm with Gaz on this one V-power all the way, better boost and pickup, speed differance a few 10th's, but the car feels better and responds better anyware in the rev range.

what about mpg, is it better than 95ron if your cruising

 

[BEOWULF]

v power all the way

Is that a joke as me and gaz have talked about this before.
IF Not then I think that i get a little less MPG out of V-Power but I always run it on V-Power, but TBH when I have put other 95, 97, tescos 99 ron in it has just been to test the proformance diffrence not the MPG, so unsure really.
The diffrences are only minor don't expect to put in V-power and it to be a diffrent car, but there is a difference none the less, even more so if you have had it mapped as you can advance the timing further with a higher octane fuel.
