Premium fuel test, What Car website.

Have a look at this review, see how it compares to other fuel comparison tests!

They use a Mk5 GTI as the performance vehicle and a Golf Diesel in the Diesel test.
Before: GTI Reflex Silver, DSG, Leather, BBS VZ 18's, Cruise, Ipod. Now A4 Sline SE 220 Avant quattro.

hmmm!

no difference between them, bummer, putting V-power in definately makes it FEEL quicker, ? expensive placebo effect?
bit of a contrast to the EVO article few years back which showed BP ultimate adding another 10 bhp to the GTI and the then shell optimax not much behind.

hardly comprehensive if you ask me; only tested 3 types of diesel and two of them were BP!!

EVO test was much more comprehensive
