+1 MRC managed a bit more bhp and NM on my stage 2 with Tesco99. Otherwise VPuff. I think all round, I'd go VPuff all the way...HYFR wrote:Vbarstard

Strictly V-power for me.
It gives you a nitro+ boost.

Mine ran like a dog on cold starts with Sainsburys 97 and always run it in previous high performance cars with no bother.
Gave it a full tank of Tesco 99 and it was night and day! Not looked back since.

How many tight arses do we have that run 95 then? Never run anything recognized as a performance car on anything less than 97 but i know people do. Part the package and running costs for me.

Re: The best fuel to use in a RS4 B7 - many opinions
Only ever used V-Bastard in mine.
RS4 Avant - Misano Red
Re: The best fuel to use in a RS4 B7 - many opinions
Never ever stuck in anything below 98 or V Power.Youngben wrote:How many tight arses do we have that run 95 then? Never run anything recognized as a performance car on anything less than 97 but i know people do. Part the package and running costs for me.
Bit of confusion - always thought Shell V Power Nitro plus is 98, but read various sites saying its 99 ron. Always though it was 98 and confirmed by Doug at MRC after my last visit...
So?
