bazilbrush Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 Need some petrol advice please, the thing is I have been putting v-power [optimax] in my car since I bought it and shell garages are becoming quite scarce in my area and BP are everywhere so my question is: BP or V-Power are they the same, which is best ????

Clouseau Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 well to simplify without going into which fuel is better and with what additives etc. BP ultimate is only 97 octane so the gti will run on reduced output as it requires 98 octane or more. v-power is 99.

Clouseau Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 tesco is 99 for the super version. but its get the high octane from an ethanol mix which is not so good for the engine as the other high octane fuels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
