The problem with the 2.0 is it isnt powerful enough for the heavy MK4 meaning if you want to make progress you have to put your foot down even more. I was getting about 28mpg on my commute up the wharf in my 2.0 MK4. In the 2.0T MK5 I get 32 as I dont need to put my foot anywhere near as far to make the same sort of progress. If that makes sense.

I will probably buy:

Tesco
Sainsburys
BP
Shell

As they are the main ones by me.  I will do both 95 and Higher Octane Fuel including BPS 102 if I can find some, not seen any around by me, but I am sure if they bring it in at all BPs Hilton Park services will have it quite quickly.
