Chris does this mean that I can't use a good fuel because my car ain't quick enough? :hmm:

I use it just like I use good oil in my engine instead of the first cheap crap I find. I like to look after my engine best I can

Ive always used Shell/Bp petrol in my car due to knowing someone who works on the petrol wagons telling me the supermarket petrol is basically in short context watered down.

I know alot of people who use super unleaded in there cars, my old man used to have to use it in his Hayabusa.

No I'm saying it makes no difference, weve all seen the fifth gear tests, unless your cars mapped for it theres no need.
I've already had this arguement on ZSOC and won, I had someone who works fuel to back me up, supermarkets can't water down there fuel, its illegal and they would lose more money than itd be worth, I'm not saying theres no difference between brands obviously vpower etc all have different additives, its just there's really bo need for it in low power cars, im not sure its any cleaner :S and its not going.to increase performance. It's just a waste of cash, people.can argue back, but its mainly on hearsay opinions.
I'll find the quote later from the guy

Pulsar, V-Power only. I might have to take it there and fill it up on Friday with the hunting, I'm not missing out on that!

I used to run V-Power's predecessor Optimax in the Fiesta once a month, but not all the time.

Are you not paying extra for that extra MPG? Si its about the same?
An n/a engine up to and maybe beyond, but its not proven, gain nothing
A turbo 280bhp does gain something, so maybe a lesser turbo will as well
Either way its your money your wasting tbh and youve only random things youve hesrd to back ypu up, even after seeing proof.
You woildbt stick the wrong oil in your car qhy do it with petrol

5p more a litre on a 42 litre tank = Â£2.10 extra per tank

2mpg better over 10 gallons = 20 miles

20 miles is nearly a gallon which is more then Â£2.10 so how am i wasting money?

The car feels better on super, as most newer cars have a self learning ecu

And what random shit are you on about? my proof is i am getting more mpg!
