Hi all,
Just a quick question for you all, I have a golf with an AGU engine and always run it on super unleaded but recently my cousin has bought a seat leon fr and is running it on normal unleaded I warned him against this but he says its fine :shocked:
Im i being daft in running mine on super? I drive mine hard and like knowing that im putting the best fuel i can in! :smiley:
What do you guys use???
cheers jim :smiley:
-
Super all the way and shell vpower where possible but then I have always used it on all previous cars too. Whats 5pence a litre extra for peace of mind! I dont think super is compulsary for golfs though. Also you can notice a responsiveness difference with super. Tell your mate he is tight! :laugh:
-
Normal unleaded is fine.
Since my remap i always run on V-power preferably or BP ultimate if i can't make it to shell.
I was mapped on V-power so.
-
V-Power for me even though its £1.20 litre :shocked:
-
unleaded is £1.20 round my end , super is about £1.28 :angry:
-
I usually use V-Power as my cars mapped to run on higher ron fuel, but last time I was at the pump I went for unleaded as it was stupid prices!
-
tescos 99ron super
-
V power :cool:
-
does it make a differnce with diesel as over 55 cetane rating its useless unlike petrol and octane rating
-
V power here too.
It annoys my mates that they sometimes use V power but don't have the same red & silver card (they have the yellow & red one wihtout thier name on it)
On a seperate note, the magazine they send out every quarter is actually quite a good read!

i use v power too.. but its startin fook me off with the prices :angry:

Toluene
-
i run it on pov spec petrol. sod paying the price for super. :embarassed:
if i have it mapped it'll be on 95ron as petrol isn't getting any cheaper. and i've a funny feeling i might use a bit more fuel once its mapped :wink:

Find the mag a bit to italion focuse some times and the money off is a nice things to get also :).
I fnd i get better MPG by using this and the pick up is a lot better. The cars only standerd to but still i can fill the diffarance.
-
95 ron, as my car was mapped for that (APR stage 1) and its quieter, more economical and seems more powerful than when I tried a couple of tanks of v power/tesco 99.
-
I use v power everytime i fill up so much more responsive i think and gotta be better for the engine hasn't it?
-
use shell v-power now if i cant get that (believe it or not around my area thers only 3 shell garages and they are like over 8 miles away) i try and use decent 97 or 99 ron petrol until i can get v-power
-
In most cases what ever I can find :grin: its had full race fuel, 4 star, 95, 97 but most of the time 95 because its stock all my other tuned cars get the 97+
If its just a stock daily driver like my golf then it really doesn't matter but if you have been mapped for 98 then thats what you should use. I think there was a video for 5th gear done at thor racing which is still on thors website

Fuels going up again apparently :angry: :angry: :angry:
Use normal unleaded in the car and super in the quad :cool:

it is!!!! :angry: :angry: i only put £15 of 97ron until i can get some v-power over the weekend and it was over £1.20 per ltr just for that!!!! :cry:
-
Its a bloody joke what we have to pay roll on summer and I wont have to use the car unless im going shopping or taking more than just me anywhere :cool:
-
Golf runs like poop on 95 due to the spec so it only gets fed Vpower or Tesco 99.
Polo gets any old cheap derv shoved in it.
