think it depends what they map it to but basically i think you should be on super for stage 1 and stage 2 its a neccesity

i often put it in, sometimes the garages round here never have it in stock so sometimes either have to drive out to get it or just stick with 95 ron. i notice a difference when running 99ron from tesco.

Petrol is so expensive now what's the point about worrying about paying a couple of pence more. If you have paid good money to get the performance extra then make the most of it by putting in the good stuff.
When i first got my v5 i ran it on 95 and it ran like a bag of old nails. Stuck super in and it ran like a dream, better economy( not that it could be much worse! :grin:) and better throttle response.
I have tried the new tesco momentum stuff. Initially I was quite impressed but over the last few months the running of the car has varied from tank to tank so consistency might be an issue. Running optimax now and its brilliant.

Optimax all the way mate. Get your self a Shell card also and signe yourself up to the sceam and you get money off to.
BP also do a higher octain and you can get Necter points on that also.
Every little helps  :wink:

I only ever use Vpower or telco momentum as it's 99 octane. It's only 6p a litre more or something so it won't break the bank!  :laugh:

Title: Re: super unleaded

apparently it`s cheap enough to make your own additives using acetone, xylene and a touch of 2 stroke oil to up your octane, so i read somewhere.

Sounds like an expensive f()ck up if it goes tits up!  :grin:

thats what instructions are for  :wink: . as long as you do your research before hand then there shouldnt be a problem.

Title: Re: super unleaded
Post by: vwfiend on 17 December 2010, 20:09

Almost worth it to save 6p a litre and spend more on the additives and the time creating the potion. I'd like to see it done though...... Or a mix you can make to replace the petrol part.....
