  1. Regular vrs super unleaded petrol

    Sorry if this has been asked before but I'm getting a new Cupra in June and I was wondering if it will have to be run on super-unleaded. Does the extra 6p a litre in fuel types give you much benefit in economy/performace? Does it give better effeciency as you get more miles per gallon? Does...

Never really thought about it before and was just looking for opions. I realise the Super is more money etc, but will i loose much by not using...

  5. 95 / 98+ unleaded

    searched the forum - but older posts... so things might have changed? When I bought the car I asked the chap with it being a fsi 2.0 will it need 98+ fuel.. He said just "once every 4 times you fill up". However - noticed on the fuel cap it states to use it all the time. Searched...

    Switched over to Super Unleaded recently...

    ... and, well I thought it was all marketing BS and a waste of the extra cash. But there isn't much difference between super and normal unleaded so I've given it a try.

    Super Unleaded - does it make any difference?

    I have heard both sides of the arguement in the press. Namely that with regular use it cleans the engine more, gives more bhp and better economy than regular unleaded fuel. On the other hand others say it gives a placebo effect for 95 RON designed cars, such as my V5 170. However I just read...
