Yeah i normally use tescos but filled up with vpower today, will have a look later
-
was just filling up and see a leaflet on this v power nitro anyone use it yet
-
cant really tell the difference tbh with you lol
-
Its simply V power rebranded have filled up twice with v power nitro+ and cant say i notice a diff And nothing wrong with tescos Momentum 99 if i cant get to a shell station its what i use 2nd
-
All the high octane stuff is good, but you won't have any problem running it on 95 tbh.
-
As already stated V+ Nitro is just rebranded V-Power. Both V-Power & Momentum99 are both good fuels to use, I prefer both to BP ultimate although there isn't really a noticable difference between any of them.
The car is slightly less responsive when ran on 95Ron and returns slightly less MPG, so I try to use Super whenever I can.
-
you should use whatever fuel your car was mapped on. If it's unmapped 95 RON will do
-
Mines mapped for V Power, works fine on 95 though. Plus I can't afford V Power :grin:
-
I use 95ron cause its not mapped and I don't seem to get any gains (power or mpg) on the higher octain stuff.
however don't use Sainsbury's hgh octain fuel, I tried it cause I accidently picked up the wrong fuel pump, car seemed to run worse...
-
Mine was mapped and would work on normal and super unleaded but as Dom said it is better to use super if you can.

Thats cus u drive a golf pal ;)
And nice one folks! Tbh i aint noticed much between vpower and tesco other than the smell when u pump it in..ohh and vpower is alot more expensive!
-
I used to use Tesco momentum 99 but after hearing it's 95 with ethanol in it (to boost the octane rating) I went over to shell
Apparently methanol is very bad for your fuel lines !!
-
how much is fuel costs in your areas? mines currently at £1.32 for unleaded from shell and £1.38 for Vpower?
well it was when i went past this morning, our pumps change prices like a hooker changes corners :lipsrsealed:
-
It's about £1.32 in Manchester as well, far too high.

i swear when i was watching the news last night it showed BP prices at £1.03?!?!? was i seeing things or were they using old footage?
-
Yeah, I've lived in Manchester for over 6 years and it's never been that low :smiley:
-
Think tesco's in thetford is just shy of £1.36 for 95 and just under £1.40 for momentum 99 :laugh:
Did toy with getting v power but nearest one is 10-15 miles away ,but may use it as an exucse to give the car a run lol
-
I use nothing but V Power now :cool:
-
v power for me , i drive past bp and head down to shell.
-
Tesco normal is 1.32 momentum is 1.36 and vpower is 1.40 lol. Thats in staffordshire
