Im going to start using higher octane fuel as the extra money in buying it you will get through mpg but unsure on what to use cant be assed trying it all!!

What are people using in 182's and what are results like?

The best everyday high octane fuel imo.

I find my 172 idles much better, when run on it

i use v-power and i get about 5-6mpg more then 95 ron and its way smoother and its better for my wee car

Yes i find it returns higher mpg, compaired to 95 ron. The worse high octane fuel mpg wise for my 172 is Tesco 99.

 

[markclio2007]

ok what high octane fuel do you think gives best performance maybe tesco 99 as thats maybe why uses more then others

 

[Fletcher]

^^^^^Best performance either V-power or BP ulitimate, although i do think BP ulitimate is over priced.

[Fletcher]

^^^Good choice mate.

I am a convert to BP Ultimate. Used to be a V-Power man, but mine appears to run better on BP, and return more mpg.

Run a few tanks of each and then make a decision, each to their own!
