Tesco Momentum (99) gets my vote aswell.

have used this a few times recently when we've been shopping and it dont seem too bad.... though usually V power is all that sees the inside of the tank... :happy2:

Momentum 99 or V-power are the only fuels ive used in my past two cars (S3 and ED30) apart from two occasions when i needed fuel and could only get as far as a BP so £5 of BP Ultimate and then fill it up at a Shell  :happy2:

Momentum for me - simply because there's a Tesco where I live.
£67 to fill up usually lasts 300 miles or thereabouts.

do they only have that BP 102 stuff by race circuits?

I wouldn't buy that petrol unless you know for certain that it was delivered <4 week previously. The octane goes down over time so if it's 6 months old it may be less than 99RON.  :scared:

In the 15 months I've had mine I've had to put ordinary UL in on a couple of occasions. Felt like I was driving with the handbrake on!!
Back to V Power and the car takes off like it has a jet engine!!

Forget saving pennies, V-Power apparently has extra substances which are healthy for your engine wear.

If you need to save money, and I do understand that sometimes we all do, don't save it at the expense of your beloved chariot. Would you feed your horse crap food? Save money elsewhere in your lifestyle.

thing is half of these fuels probably come from the same refineries, have a few additives thrown in for good measure.  In all honesty i dont think i ever noticed a different between normal Vpower, tesco 99 and BP ultimate.  I used to use the Vpower racing100 in germany.  now that stuff was good

The GTI isn't known for its fuel efficiency and if you want high MPG figures, look at diesels. Otherwise, as RR says, cut back on other things. Like Haribo :sad1:

Would love to try that V racing stuff.

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