Shell is just down the road from me so mine runs on V-Power all the time BUT it's only £1.19 a litre here in Harrogate.

 :surprised: :surprised: :surprised: Thats cheaper than the price of normal unleaded up here :fighting: :fighting:
..........think normal un-leaded is £1.13 at the moment ? where abouts are you mate ?.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

Down in sunny Bournemouth, I used to live closer to Tescos than Shell and so tended to use the former more than the latter. Personally found the car to be more responsive after Shell but better mpg from Tescos 99-RON stuff. Should be fine for remapped engines.


I work near Kinson so im lucky i have a shell 1 minute down the road.

Heres some fact about the 2 fuels rather than subjective opinions.

http://www.thorneymotorsport.co.uk/tuning/Fuel_Test_Results_Update.shtml

Based on this, price, tesco being closer I use tesco 99. Although occassionally  when i fill up with v power i can't notice any difference.

Use Tesco 99 mostly now as the GTI seems to run a lot better on it, that said, V-Power ran just as well but i'd only used it once, whereas i've had a few fill ups of 99 Tesco.

Price wise, normal UL is £1.12p here, and Tesco 99 @ £1.19 per litre.
