And what about the people who use the higher grade fuel for the cleaning property element? Not everyone is the same so don't be do selfish with your opinions please.

I used to put petrol in mine before I sold it and then put more in when it was empty. When I get my new one, guess what?
I will put petrol in it and when it’s empty I will put more in  !!  😴😴😴

You don't have to open the thread if your not interested but I guess you are as not only did you open it but you replied as well.

Yes I did in a vain attempt to stop another snorathon war and peace thread about fuel. Using higher grade fuel or otherwise is not going to make anyone into Stirling Moss on their urban crawl around the U.K. road network as they commute about and when the thread  inevitably switches to whinging about fuel economy it doesn’t take a genius to work out you are never going to get anywhere near the official figures due to the fact you can’t buy the stuff the manufacturers use when they conducted the test in a “prepared test facility” buying fuel from any petrol station in the U.K.
A simple search could have told you this rather than opening another thread on a subject that has been covered endless times !!

Again you don't have to read it, you do understand the way forums work? The reason I ask is because you seem to think it was me that started this thread so knowledge may not be at the top of your list of priorities.

Let me answer that in two parts. I have nothing against anyone who wishes to use a higher grade fuel. It’s your choice. I ran my Golf R on V Power from day one because the manual said it needed Super unleaded so I am not against the higher octane fuels. On the second point. I take it I am not allowed an opinion then if it doesn’t align with others? 
You will never get everyone to agree on a forum or there would be no point.

There is no definitive answer as a quick search of this site will prove

Thanks and yes I am aware how forums work. Looking at my quoted post I can see why you think I was aiming this at you. I wasn’t and the “you” as in “A simple search could have told you this”  was in general not personal.
Agreeing to disagree is what makes forums work.....Sometimes  :smiley:

Of course everyone's allowed an opinion but I can't see the point in commenting on a thread that obviously bores you.

my old 1.4 16v Fabia stated on the fuel cap & in the sales brochure "98ron only ..95ron can be used with a slight reduction in power"..

Quite a few after 5-6yrs which were run only on 95ron started having problems with piston rings & other various ERG etc faults....mine after 14yrs never did & was as rev happy as ever..all down to using the "super snake oil"...

My current car is run only on Vpower..."snake oil".....mainly because I know the cleaning package will stop loads of ERG etc faults/ gunging problems etc..& the variable camshafts (both) can make use of the higher octane also...

My apologies for starting a new thread on a old topic....... Now my only reason was because I'm new to the VW scene....But with Honda a Jedi master...When I fitted my Supercharger to the type R ... I had to use a specific fuel. I'll check before asking question :)
