    Always used super, the cleaning properties of the fuel are worth the extra pence per tank.

    It probably does under normal driving, V-power is 99ron octane and regular is 95, the oxygen probe will pick up on the extra oxygen in the exhaust emissions and lean the next cycle off a tiny bit, over the course of a tank it may save you a couple of millilitres, maybe more than a litre, which is a quid in itself.

    Hans will come on and say that the sebs were mapped on lower than 95 ron so probably wont make much difference.

    I used to only use super...but that was back in a seb/2litre/skyline and evo.

    These days seb 2 goes just fine on normal 95 ron and personally wouldnt bother using anything higher on this sort of set up. However I treat the lil italian tin can to a drink of the good stuff now and then.

    Yeah my first thought was to highlight you need petrol in your punto, unless its a Punto DEEEZ


    After running the Mint on V-power and when taking it apart it been in pretty remarkable condition i'd only use super on a performance and/or turbo'd engine.

    Sebs were mapped to 93ron or similar....

    My Evo requires 98 minimum, so its V-power or Momentium for me only.

    Momentum from tesco if not vpower.. havent run any other since ive mapped the car.. Been advised not to aswel.. on seb4 tesco momentum did make a difference rather than regular 95..
