m1cr08472 Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 What fuel are you running your lupo on?I put some 95 ron fuel from morrisons in my car, is this likely to hurt the engine over time or is it ok?1.4 16v sport version, I read in the manual to put either 95 or 98 ron fuel in, with the 95 ron giving a slight decrease in performance.I'm just wondering what other peoples experiences are with different types of fuel.

Defcon5 Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 On my Sport it it sounds considerably smoother with 98ron. I only ever used 98 on my GTI, use it every other tank on the SportAt least use 95 from Shell/BP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lupo-Joe Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 I use the normal stuff, as I remember fifth gear did a test seeing the difference between 95 and 98 octan fuel, and until you had the power and engine level of an impreza you don't gain many extra horse power, and it's that smaller increase at that engine size you wouldnt notice the difference!Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caryleighton Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 98 RON does burn cleaner, and is supposed to be better for the internals of your engine. I guess it wouldn't make too much difference to performance, but I feel bad every time I use 95 now haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kieranbolton Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 I just fill up at tesco, whatever they have, i drive a 49bhp lupo, had that had a 0 on the end of it, i may reconsider the choice of fuel, but for now, the car runs and drives fine on tesco fuel Kieran Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gatesy0093 Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 Tesco's new super fuel (or whatever its called) is supposed to be just as good as BP Ultimate.I usually use normal BP fuel,and I use a full tank of BP Ultimate around once every 3 months or for long journeys as I get better miles (and the once every 3 months has the same effect as using a bottle Redex as it flushes out the system) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete91 Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 I stick v power in the gti all the time. Not because it increases power but because it runs smoother and cleans the engine apparently. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angelo77 Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 Bp ultimate and v power, get an extra twenty miles per tank, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jay1408 Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 I run shell v power in my arosa sport and occasionally stick 10 Ltrs of 100 octane race fuel in from work just to help clean inside the engine.Using vpower over any other 98ron I get about a extra 10-15 miles till my fuel light comes on .. Also on the note of fuel how many miles do you get from a full tank to your fuel light coming on ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver! Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 We've now lost our Shell garage in Perth, so it's either Tesco Momentum or BP Ultimate.Pinks like a bitch if I put 95RON in as did my 1.0 Arosa, so that always got the 97/98/99RON too.
