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!

And the petrol vouchers  :cool:

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.

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
