Is it Just Me?

[Mr Punch]

Thanks Guys,

Feel a bit better now 

Not had the car long still absolutley love it.......

I have only used Tesco99 since I bought it .

On the petrol cap cover it states 98 Ron...Is this a minimum?

Or can it be ran on normal unleaded 95 Ron?

There is a method in my madness...My company Car runs on standard unleaded ......

It's a Zafira I bought it for family reasons also kids football on weekends etc..

If I'm not visiting any sites and I'm local in the office I take the Golf and let the missus use the Zafira Happy Days.

If I need to go 2-300 mile I use the Zafira it has a fuel card only for unleaded though not super.

So I cant take the GTI unless I pay for the fuel what's the point in that.

So could I put standard in or will it harm the car

I can't recall the fuel tank size but for me, I managed to fill it with 60 litres to the brim. Given half-way is under probably 25-30 litres
30 litres approx 6.5 gallons
125 miles divided by 6.5 is 19mpg.

It depends on entirely on driving style. At the mo, a 10 mile journey in traffic takes 40 mins and get around 22mpg. Same journey at night takes 20 mins and get around 27-30 mpg. Stop-start traffic isn't kind to the GTI.

The tank is 55 litres, so must have ran it on vapours and then filled it up to the neck to get 60 litres in  Or the filling station is screwing you and giving out undermeasured litres

My average is now at 18.1mpg and falling - this NOS eats fuel

Ditto here - i also, sometimes, get paranoid thinking are the petrol stations selling V Power are just pumping normal leaded...   -

The GTI is not the right car if you worry about mpg, i do about 3 miles to work and back each day and never get more than 20!!

Pretty much. A bit frustrating when the two most nearby Shell garages are out of V-power!

Mine is doing about 26-27 to the gallon at the moment.
