Hmmmm..... tihnk you might be right there!! But i think mine prefers the Tesco stuff... tried the v-power and it wasnt that much diff from the 97ron sainsburys stuff i used to use. However im still only on like 3k so maybe its just the loosening up thats makin it feel defferent. Havent used the sain's or v-power for a while now.
Not a happy man... I've just come back from my determined quest to find a Shell garage in Ipswich that has this offer - because I'm a tight b88t8rd - and after visiting 5 out of 6 stations none of them have cheaper V-Power (I ran out of time for the 6th and knowing my luck and Sod's Law, it was probably participating in this offer). Anyway, I started off the journey with 50 miles left in the tank and came back with 20 miles left Would have been pointless finding a participating garage at that rate as I would have only broken even One thing I did notice was that when I accelerated quite hard in both S and D Modes, the turbo sounded quite wheezy and I haven't noticed that before. I'll keep an eye on it for a few weeks and if it gets any worse then I may go to the dealer.
How ironic that the users on here with the most expensive cars are scrambling about looking for a few pence off litre of fuel !
Nice to see you getting out into the MKV section Gibby - do you have an uncontrollable urge for a MKV still

I do pop in and have a read every now and again. Makes me laugh this section though, as there's users in here with 100s of posts that I've never seen before ! By the way Hurdy, your Edition is looking quality in the recent pics I've seen, loving the sig by the way.
