Presenter somewhat annoying...

The MK5 is designed to use the higher octane fuel. I won't go into it but its to do with how the FSI engine works (if your interested have a quick Google of how the FSI engine works). Even a standard MK5 will see benefits from it.

Having said that its bloody expensive, I personally just use the usual stuff purely for cost reasons. Used to use it when fuel was cheaper and I didn't have mortgage to pay and tbh, I really struggled to see that much difference. Still, the facts speak for themselves.

Blimey that's quite some variation on the Scooby tests.

A guy I know who i was speaking to the other day, says he always adds 20% methanol to a tank of V-Power and it gives him a further 15% power on top of the extra 5-8% he gets from using Shell's finest over other leading brands of super unleaded

I always run my cars on v- power or higher octane fuel. I've read the back to back tests and accept them. I don't have time to faff about doing my own laborious tests, so use 98-99 Ron fuel as standard. The tests say you get around 28 extra miles to a tank and the extra cost of v-power over 95 Ron is around £4 a tank, so effectively you should get the cost back and also get the added benefits of more power and extra longevity of the engine for free. The fact that you shouldn't use 95 Ron once mapped is also a factor.

I've just equated this myself as can be seen in my thread. It's a no brainer really

Only ever used V Power in my ED30. Worth the few extra pennies over the 95 ron.
