It might give you more mpg adam but older cars it wont.

I'm just saying its a waste of money for nost low powered cars and people thibk its good due to hearsay on forums.
And u bwver said anythibg about power for your fez des, its not really a treat, if it was actually brtter you would use it all the time so thr car would never get "clogged' abd would always been 'clean'

I get an extra 20bhp, in my mind

Seriously though if its 5p off a litre that will make it the same as normal 95 petrol and its payday, WIN WIN :thumbsup:

If i just put bog standard supermarket petrol in it doesnt seem to last half as long as Bp/Shell petrol. but its the same price round my area.

So if it doesnt benefit engines under 200bhp why are High powered motorbikes supposed to run on it but then majority of them are under 200bhp?

I will admit I usually fill up at asda, I might give this a go, with that a shell garage isn't far away so might be worth going anyway.

Go for it Percy, see if you can feel any difference or improved MPG

It may well be a placebo effect with normal cars. In terms of my car though, it's mapped for 100ron, so 99 is the best I can get so I use it.

The Shell near me is the exact same price as Asda/Tesco, so I don't lose out on any money for the normal unleaded, but the cars do seem to prefer it. But I guess it also depends on the car and what condition it's in engine wise. But like I say, even my mate who doesn't have a great deal of car knowledge commented on his car after filling it with Asda fuel.

i get better mpg using super unleaded and v power and the car does feel a bit more responsive, not faster. That's my proof :lol:
