Unleaded or super unleaded
« on: 05 July 2013, 19:02 »
Just wondering what sort of fuel people are using and if you think it's worth paying that bit more?

Normal unleaded, never noticed any difference with Super.

Shell nitro most of the time as is supposed to keep the engine clean but always at least 97 octane. I think it improves mileage but may just be me sucked in by the ads.

Super only.

As above, you really notice it especially if it's mapped.

Same, for the sake of a couple of quid on a tank there's no point messing about.

Never noticed a difference with the standard car myself in daily use. Mines used 99.9% of the time as a commuter so normal driving mainly below 3k most the time on 30-50 roads. Unlike the mk5 were it was 98 but had 95 in brackets. VW say anything from 95ron so it was designed fine it so im not bothered.
If it was mapped and I wanted every bhp  as it was my play thing then I would use it but for what mines used for.
