Which petrol do you use?

I have just used V-power and Tesco 99. The car seemed happy on both. Not tried 95 Ron. The engine doesn't run as clean using it, I read somewhere that it needs 98 Ron for the FSI to work efficiently.

Teutonic Tamer explained it with the FSI once... I wonder where he's at?

You are right about it coming from the same refinery,

I Work in the oil and gas sector for BP, I used to work at the Grangemouth refinery which supplies the whole of Scotland and north England with fuel. Shell , Tesco, Sainsbury's, ESSO and Texaco all these companies buy their fuel from this refinery. All they do is when the leave the refinery gates put in some additives which mix in the tank en route to the forecourt's.

Another thing to Note, when buying fuel make sure you buy from a forecourt which isnt right next to the refinery as the additive hasnt had long to mix in the petrol tanker!

Not sure if this has been posted before? I use TESCO 99 and works well. Here is a link to where you can find it - http://www.greenergy.com/tesco_99_octane/where_to_buy.html

Just out of interest, this 'greenergy' stuff is anything but green!

In Sumatra, for example, they've chopped down a big chunk of their rainforests to plant palm oil for supplying Europe's biofuels. If that weren't bad enough, they had to drain the swamps that much of this forest was standing in, and now that the air can get to the peat, the ground is emitting 30 times more carbon into the atmosphere each year than the saving from not burning oil pumped out of the ground.

Some 'green' fuel!
