I use 4 star (leaded) imported from saudi arabia.  if my dealer lets me down i have to resort to hollowed out pencils, lead ground down and left soaking in a vat of Asda unleaded for 48 hours.

So you use graphite fuel?
Oh alright, no need to split hairs!  :laugh:

Suprsisingly V-Power is cheaper that Tesco 99 Ron around my way.  Which is handy.

So is Shell fuel bad? At the mo I'm using Shell 95RON in my mk2 8v GTI, been thinking about changing to Shell VPower, should I use them or go elsewhere? Also can I just stick the petrol in, or should I flush the engine first?
