Okay cool.  Silly question but is it worth getting Super Unleaded?  I get Sainsbury's ordinary stuff all the time  :smiley:

Shell V power FTW IMO :

P.S. So does the 2.0 GTI perform better with V Power and increased MPG?

When I had mine Id see slightly better MPG but not really noticeable performance increase. I would use super every 4 - 5 tanks as it does contain cleaning agents to keep the car clean. If you can afford its worth getting but its a high price to pay. (I dont use super all the time in the MK5 which is designed tor run on it lol Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh :lipsrsealed:)
