July 10, 201510 yr Hi guys,over the past week I've been to Fort William (for my sons wedding)then to the leadhills and a wee run on single track country roads,over 350 miles on various road types I've came to the conclusion that B.P. ultimate is the best choice of petrol for my xten regards mpg and performance,shell v power is better than ordinary unleaded,and for supermarket petrol that stuff gets nowhere near my car,so,has anybody else noticed a difference or am I thinking dearer is better.
July 10, 201510 yr Nope your right there, 95% of us use shell vpower. Wierdly dogconker has had better results with regular shell on his xv. Sent from my SM-G850F using Tapatalk
July 10, 201510 yr havent tried the BP in mine yet, mpg has dropped from 28/29 - 24/25 with the aircon on last couple of weeks
July 10, 201510 yr I use Tesco 99 momentum and swear by it. Can get 28mpg in my impreza. Makes good power too. (I know this is foz section) [emoji12]
July 10, 201510 yr shame it melted a piston cos it detted its **** off, but mpg for the win,,,,,,,,,, vpower and momentum isn;t used because it gives better mpg, its used because it has better ron value so smoother more predictable burn
July 10, 201510 yr Bp is 97 plus an additive, not sure who supplies tesco I always thought it was bp, Sainsburys super is supposed to be ok but never used it Sent from my SM-G850F using Tapatalk
July 10, 201510 yr Duncan mapped mine on momentum. It made good power and showed no signs of det. I'm not gonna argue with him [emoji23]
July 10, 201510 yr Vpower/momentum 99 ron Bp ultimate not sure if its 97 or 98? normal super 97 1 ron is enough to make a difference
July 10, 201510 yr Mines mapped for vpower and that's all that goes in, off to Wales at some point in near future looked on petrol station loacter, i'm glad I have an emergancy map, they seem to be few and far between Sent from my SM-G850F using Tapatalk
July 10, 201510 yr well I metioned this bfor on another topic since I changed to higher ron ive got results quiter, not that the h6 needed to be eny quiter, sharper responce & yes doin about 2 mpg more, I use vpower 90% of the time when I carnt get it, bp ultimate which is 97 ron, just noticed today sainsburys do a 97 ron aswell never tryed eny I make a point to get vpower even if I have to go out my way last week fitted K&N panal getting even better alround results now
July 10, 201510 yr I mostly run on momentum, or v power if i'm passing a shell. Managed 32mpg on a run to Gatwick last week (145 miles, a12/m25) and done even better on the way back this week. Thats in a 2003 blob wrx Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk
July 11, 201510 yr Author havent tried the BP in mine yet, mpg has dropped from 28/29 - 24/25 with the aircon on last couple of weeks Air con not needed up here mate,unless its to blow away the !Removed! midges
July 11, 201510 yr Author so,on average vpower seems to be the petrol of choice,I'll try a full tank of that and see what the results are for my car,cheers guys.
July 11, 201510 yr I use super unleaded I'm not sure we have shell or BP over Un northern Ireland and I find my car doesn't get many mpg. When I go back home to England though I'll have to give shell and BP a go though
