Default Cheap Fuel!!!

Had to drop the car in for its MOT this morning but decided to fill up before i left it. went to the local shell garage and for today only they were doin v-power for the same price as normal unleaded! yeah ok, it makes little if any difference in a 1.4 but hey, cant complain! anyone else took advantage of such a give away?

Wow - might see if they are doing that offer locally! At full throttle my Audi is a lot quicker with Super Unleaded! I just can't bring myself to spend over £50 filling up the tank!

You say unfortunately but being optimistic you get max performance on regular cheaper fuel - thats a big bonus.

My wife wrote an article about High Octane fuels here :- http://www.torquecars.com/articles/f...ne-ratings.php
