V power
« on: 27 August 2006, 11:22 »
Im sure most of you are aware that Optimax has been rebranded to VPower and also a slight increase in RON to 99.

I know the FSI engine is optimised for higher octane fuels. 

Do you reckon there will be a difference between 98 and 99ron or is it purely placebo,  I aint filled up yet so still on opti :)

Me too... and it's only 97.9p? ...but for how long though?

Incidentally, our local Tesco (Arena Coventry)  is supposed to stock the 99 Ron loopy juice. I rang them and they say it's been down-graded to 98... not sure when or why?
