Shell VPower thoughts.....

Post by **Dave_Hedgehog** » Tue Sep 11, 2012 6:58 am

there both 99 ron, shells target ron is 99.5

vpower is the only fuel blended to be 99ron and it comes from only 1 refinery in the UK, tesco's gets there RON up with additives

both have good reports from users, i use vpower as i drive past 4 shell garages everyday, its worth getting the vpower card to get 2p a ltr off

you need help if your putting 95 ron in a car mapped for 98+

V bastard also has ethanol now, though not as high as Tesco 99.

Shell for the reason above, never Tesco

Next question: why do you guys use V-power or momentum?

Ahuh... and what did you run in the C6 5.0TT?

obviously T99 ... but that was mapped for 99RON

I think the stock 2.5TFSI is mapped for 95RON

but i only use 99 in the R8

I've recently jumped-ship. After 18 months of exclusively using either Shell (95% of the time) or Momentum occasionally, I've now started on the BP stuff.

Tbh I think the car's feeling more gutsy with BP Ultimate.

No, this is just you getting older... shouldn't you be learning how to change nappies or something?

Tesco 99 but getting fed up waiting for it to pump each and every time.

When I asked why there is a large delay in it pumping 99 I had the reply "because nobody is stupid enough to buy it"!!

It's okay for you guy's who don't have to drive 30 miles to get Tesco 99.

Nearest I have is BP 97 10 miles away.
