Best to run clio 172 on vpower?

[Ferris!]

hiya basically just wondering if best to run on vpower?

 

[sidey]

Yup. There's a sticker inside the fuel filler cap that says 98ron recommanded (sic), v-power fits this bill perfectly, as do most other premium fuels, but i find V-power the highest octane/£.
Been using it almost exclusively in my 182 for over 3 years; when i switched i noticed it ran considerably better from cold.

My car defiantly runs well on it for the small price extra it's worth it, it's meant to be a lot healthier for the engine!

My car runs sweet on V-Power and runs nice on momentum aswell. Runs like s**t on BP Ultimate

 

[Advikaz]

Whatever suits your wallet. If you can afford to run super, run super.

Mine has only ever had V Power.

I never put anything other than the best fuel available in my cars.

Id put diesel in and ignore what it says on the inside of the fuel flap.

Everyone else does.

I use Shell Vpower in my 197, there was a comparison of the top 3 fuel companies "High octane" which sold it for me. With a few pence difference per litre I don't even pay attention to cost anymore.

Yes, as the car runs better on it, and you get slightly better economy.

It really isn't much extra per tank.

as above really, ever since my first 172 that ran utter dogshit on anything other than high octane fuel I just always stick the good stuff in, and as said, over the whole tank it adds what, 3 quid?

I prefer to go running on water

 

[Ferris!]

ah thanks for the response guys, ill start running it on shell vpower now then !

I just use sainsburys premium 97. Smells exactly like bp ultimate, it's just a stones throw away and cheaper. Nearest shell/tesco is 3.5 miles away so can't be bothered. Always run our cars on similar and never had any issues.

Id use tesco momentum 99 ron or nitro.

I used Sainsbury's high octane as its usually the closest, but tbh its just the high RON stuff at whatever garage forecourt I happen to pull into when I need fuel

I wouldn't go hunting miles just for vPower in particular is my point

We use the same petrol station, ooooooo Sainsburys stuff is only 97 though.

Filled up at Heanor tesco last night and put momentum in and it didn't feel much different tbh.
