Cliosport 182 Virgin

[CJH182]

Hi there,

Just got my 04 plate 182 with the cup packages and 11k on the clock. Arctic Blue - cool.

Use it every day for my 50 mile work commute across the Peak - and it's just been christened Miles of Smiles - especially down the Via Gellia from Newhaven to Cromford.

What fuel works best?

Shell V Power
BP Optimax
Tesco Superunleaded
Standard Unleaded

Getting between 30mpg - 40mpg depending on weather conditions (it's been foggy this week!)

Any info appreciated.

I use Super 98 RON.

Between 30-40MPG is pretty good. Oh and welcome to the boards.

Use V-Power imo mate.

Not only will the higher octane rating mean you'll get the best from you engine (Although I'm sure the 182 is mapped for 95RON) but the detergents will keep the engine free from carbon deposits

Hi Quickshift,

Paid £8999 at an independent trader - deal or no deal?

I found foggy weather decreases fuel economy

 

[Dubai182]

Also decreases visibility too

i heard a rumour it was the same as bp's premium... dunno if it is true or not. but i go for the cheapest preimum around. for me that is sainsburys. also good as i get fuel after shopping

Why does it say "98 ron recommended" on my fuel cap then?

I stand corrected then mate I wasn't sure what RON rating was recommended tbh, although my advise stands true.

Welcome and Enjoy.

Mines was on a diet of Optimax from new as it was the only 98 Ron fuel round here, now on V-power.

V-Power for me 36 ish to the gallon

 

[trailerparktrev]

I do two tanks of V-power then two tanks of Sainbury's Super unleaded.
(As you can appreciate I get the V-power at the beginning of the month, just after I've been paid)

Sounds daft mate & not diggin you out, but the difference between filling up with Premium & V-Power money wise to a tank is only about £2.50 if that.
Only one less pint a week
