Performance fuel

[eatontrifles]

The cost over a year to use higher RON fuel compared to normal - not enough for me care about.

For 10,000 miles a year - around £136 based on current figures (113p/l for 95, 122p/l for V-power).

Or buy Tesco 99 @ 115.9/litre at the moment

Exactly (both of you) - considering how much people will pay for dubious performance upgrades this is a bit of a bargain! For me, at around 8k miles per year on Tesco 99, it works out at less than £5 a month

Agreed.

I've only ever used standard fuel but I think I'm going to upgrade from now on.
I do less than 5000 miles a year so it won't break the bank

That equates to a very reasonable £2.75 a month, there or thereabouts Or put another way, 1/2 a pint less per month in the pub. But if I were you, I'd save the money bi-monthly as half a proper drink just doesn't look right....

Hmmm, what's the job and housing situation like round there? 

[kalimon]

I'm lying of course, it costs a small fortune to get pissed up north these days

Yeah but you live down in that London.

In case anyone is interested - from my 20 plate GTI



does that contradict current VW recommendation of For most vehicles standard unleaded is fine (95RON) but for GTI and 'R we recommend super unleaded (98RON).? I am currently on normal shell but toying with super unleaded 98 ron plus fuel but not so sure now??

Shell v power won't necessarily make it go faster but it's the cleaning additives that will help long term compared to standard stuff.

min 95 ? any thing higher better
smoother and better mpg with v power no brainer
