v power issue

[GT ALAN]

i use tesco 99octane mostly as its cheaper than vpower and i get more mpg from 99 than 95 octane and ive never had problems with it wen i had the sporting i used vpower on a weekend to clean the engine up a bit as thats what it does supposedly and to thrash around
lol

now thats one thing i did notice when using the higher octane was the better mpg's

[gt1-jamie]

very true though some ppl dont believe it

[clarkster]

i guess if every gallon of 99 is about an extra 30p and you get another 2-3 miles to every gallon it does sound like a good move-thats another 20-30 miles on a tank so maybe about £4-5.00 saving every fill up at todays price.

over a year thats a serious cash saving assuming my 2-3 mpg estimate is a good one, but it could be more.

i might run it myself and work out the figures-see if it saves me some money although it would also be interesting to see if th ecar drives any different but i doubt it.

for all you work van men they do a diesel one too haha

[Mawbster]

Yeah but if you work for someone you have to use cheap and if your of fuelcards

I put a tank of diesel v power on my work van every 2 months, so it bumps my shell points up lol.

[Mawbster]

Get a fuelgenie card for morrisons and tescoa - much better. Uk fuels shell card is the worst i ever used

[W8MAN]

i use 95 used 99 a few time and never noticed any differance in power or mpg just costs more to fill up

[rayhigginson]

I use normal fuel then add an octane boost it's better and also keeps the cost down as one bottle does about 15/20 tanks depending on how much I put in!

Of course its better for your car, it contains more chemicals to cleanse your engine and the fuller burn should prevent carbon build up.

If been stuck using Total Excellium 98 this week in France and that is kack compared to V-power, definate difference in pull from low down.

Its like Andy said anyway, your car needs to be mapped to something like V-power 99 or Tesco 99 to feel the full benefit, it allows the map to be more aggressive.
