What petrol do you run your 1*2 on ??

[kev 3dr]

As title ??

I run mine on Tesco 99 as much as i can even though its about a 18 mile round trip to fuel the 172 up !!

 

[Fletcher]

I used to run mine on v-power, sainsburys super now i'm filling up with 95ron shell, and Asda ghetto fuel.

IMO there isn't any difference in performance

 

[123stevevw]

same /\ /\

 

[Pep]

I use Sainsburys Super, have since the day I picked it up.

I know there will be no difference in performance, but it says super in the book so I use it. The 3/4 quid difference per fill up makes no difference to me, if it helps the car run cleaner then happy days.

All tastes the same anyways!

+1 used in ma old 1.2 told it kept the engine clean so just done it.

 

[DrR]

Cheapest

 

[swirly182]

Shell 95 RON.

 

[Razza25]

I try and use V-power as much as I can

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

V-POWA!

 

[Renault-racer]

tesco 99

 

[Jun]

Sainsburys super. Can't see any difference compared to v power. 95 ron is probably the same too.

 

[*Badger*]

Sainsburys Super or Tesco 99

 

[iyrix]

First full tank was Tesco 99 Ron.. not sure going forward.

 

[ilovewilly]

Used sainsburys super once and it made my engine light appear, so tesco for me now!

 

[Tom|Nbk]

Ghetto fuel.

 

[Munson]

Mine has always been run on Optimax or Ultimate. For 18 months I ran it on Optimax 100 in Europe. Now in the UK it mostly gets Ultimate again. It's had 95 maybe twice in 4 years, and only then a small emergency fill.

Optimax 100 in Germany made it very grunty and gave it a good idle.

 

[Craig]

98% of the time its run on 95ron

 

[chur1996]

Sainsbury's Super or shell V-Power. Get better mpg and more out of a tank than 95 Ron, not sure if there is much performance difference but engine certainly runs smoother with 97 + Ron.

 

[Coby.]

V-Power only if I can help it

 

[riz]

Bp only for me, everything else i get less mpg

 

[Munson]

I find that Optimax makes it quite gruff. Ultimate is smoother and fruity. I'm sure people think it's imagination but, they're wrong so let them keep filling up with out of spec pikey petrol.

 

[riz]

I do the same journey day in day out, and BP is the only one where my car gets decent mpg and i dont get any problems starting from cold. Everything else Shell included means its pants

 

[rapid86]

tesco all the way, its what i get the best mpg out of!

 

[Munson]

I didn't get any cold start lumps at all in Germany on Optimax 100. Including all seasons. Frost, snow, summer etc.

I find BP Ultimate is my pump of choice in the UK though.

 

[Gaz_]

I'm a pikey then as i use Optimax mainly or Tesco 99 if i'm passing

 

[rapid86]

Optimax 100..

**drools**

 

[Leeshez]

I use 95 ron. The last 3 tanks i used tesco 99 ron.

 

[Pete.]

Another one for the Tesco 99 Ron.

 

[Munson]

All I know is that the cold start half-mile lumps did not happen once in Europe, but have returned at least once or twice in the UK since.

 

[MarkCup]

Supermarket slop makes mine rough and it won't pull cleanly on idle in traffic.

Optimax then V-power for mine from new...in 107k only ever had maybe 5 full tanks of nastiness go through it.

One thing for certain is that I go a lot further on V-power...I mean 43 mpg compared to 38 mpg. Only ever run out on track before the end of a trackday once and that was on Tesco 99. It's a false economy.

Rocket fuel... Extra 200bhp...
