What do you give your MK VI to drink.....

[ErikGTI]

I was tanking V-power only cause it is 96-97 Ron and heard stories about Horsepower-loss..so sticked with that....not good enough.....

The latest is that I should tank "BP-Ultimate only" since that is 98 Ron...(so told by a kind of race-driver guy)......all others can give you a loss uptill 30 BHP....serious business eh...

What techno knows the settings and reaction of our computer on board towards fuel and can give advice..........

I thought it was the other way round, BP ultimate=97ron, V-Power=99ron, could be wrong though!

BP is 97 ultamate

Remember things are different in mainlain Europe

Not to want to start a discussion but it MUST be different in the Netherlands since when I tank Shell V-Power it is stated at the station "V-Power 95" and at the PB-station "BP Ultimate 98"......

I even looked it up on the internet although they stated Shell V-power 95...in real life it is 96-97.Ron.....confused??....so I stopped with Shell and am searching for BP....a bit uncomfortable I agree.

How about you guys....surely you are not buying a fast car and give away horsepower....and this is it because I saw a car perform bad and good on a rollerplatform to registrate performance...with 95 and 98 Ron....

With the MK V I could sometimes clearly feel a peformance difference....

Erik, if you follow the link below, the Shell spec sheet indicates a guarantee of 99RON for V Power [It's a 2006 document but I wouldn't have thought it has changed.

[ErikGTI]

yeah I know different Shell sites different specs ...and why do they write down (In the Netherlands) in red letters on the yellow logo at the actual pump itself
"Shell V-power 95" ...

It should read "Shell F-power".....as in F&ck....

[Awry]

It's the same here in Norway. V-power 95 and they don't mention anywhere that it's more then 95. I'm confused.
