what petrol do i put in

[luke182sport]

i bought a 182 last week an on tick over it feels sluggish but the needle is still is this normal or does it need the deer petrol
loads of people said its the norm but id like to find out more thanks

 

[Snails]

The dearer petrol, isn't a requirement, it will run fine of normal petrol, however you may see a increase in mpg on the more expensive stuff that outweighs the additional expense. People also reckon it runs better, but i haven't really noticed any difference in performance since switching to the more expensive stuff. Welcome to the forum btw!

Stag petrol FTW

 

[Bazzon]

Always run mine on super fuel 97-99 ron depending which services im at. Ran it on 95 a few times when ive been short it always seemed a little worse but this could be mind tricks

The cars are a bit lumpy on idle especially if cold.

sainsburys super FTW!

Asda 95, or whatever else is cheap.

 

[luke182sport]

do you think it will be better if i changed spark plugs its not that bad really im just fussy

 

[SC03OTT]

I'm currently using V-Power to see for myself if there is actually a difference. Will be filling up with my third tank next week.

Clios are always shaky on idle, won't get rid of it.

 

[Craigus]

You guys are fools, gives at least 20 bhp extra

yes mate, you know it makes sense

Super for me, no reason apart from the 197 really was sluggish on 95 ron- even the dealer admitted this, and same for the vee, only because previous owner always ran it on v-power- i've seen the receipts too!
Deciding factor is what you can afford and feel comfortable with- to me it makes virtually no difference- maybe £15 difference a month.

Nearly broke in then?

IIRC there was a lad from Germany or somewhere on here and his is rolling on somthing like 188,000km :S

 

[marinemackay2003]

got a few more left in him yet and when it blows, will bang another one in lol

 

[Snails]

Does nobody else find the higher ron stuff sgives better mpg. I'm paying about extra per litre, but getting mpg's about 12 or 13% higher than before.

Not far off the 100k club

Mileage has dropped lately, so you'll more then likely catch me up mate

 

[Perry]

Haven't noticed any difference on whatever I run it on, didn't make any difference when I changed the plugs on 34k either - only thing that seems to make a difference on mine is the how hot/cold it is that day and what the air is like.

+1, although the extra lubricants/additives blended into the dearer brands can't do it any harm every once in a while

Yes mate, every now and again i do fill up with up a tank of v-power for it's cleaning properties.
