Quick answer: Shell.

Octane booster wont "fry" your engine. It generally increases the RON and makes the fuel more "potent".

 

i use v power now car runs great on it i have tried other fuels
have used ultimate and car ran crap on it
tesco 99 was ok but got low down hesitation

i dont use any octane booster with it

 

v power

 

easy V POWER , ran bp the week and its not that good at all

 

Always V-Power!!!!!!

 

V POWER FOR Me

 

Quick and conclusive answer. Using Utlimate I get increased knock readings on my power FC on V-Power I get none.

v power 4 me,even in my days in a civic

 

Can some bright spark set up a poll to see who uses what? I use Tesco 99 & would be interested to see how many others do too ...

TX.

 

Tesco 99 for me too! only used v power a few times, besides it being more expensive i cant tell any difference between the two

 

T99

 

Tesco 99 ron for me as well

 

(Even though this topic has been done to death... !)

Think a poll would only be any good if you included which model of Impreza you drive - I would expect a Spec-C, RA, import STI, UK WRX, UK STI PPP, etc etc etc to have possibly different preferences.

All I can go buy is that my local RR'd/Tuners say that they have significantly more headroom with ignition timing using V-Power than any of the other fuels - and my car is going on the rollers again tomorrow, and other than a Green filter panel, the only other difference is going to be fuel.

 

Ultimate is the worst fuel of the decade in my view, det city on a modified car.

V power made my Sti PPP go noticeably quicker. I had to use Ultimate during the Optimax shortage and it seemed lethargic and hesitant.

 

I find stuff like this, V Power, groovy, ESSO not too bad, Waitrose Super OK, Sainsburys Super OK, Tesco Super OK,BP Dultimate (put in Millars Octane Boooster) OK, ( if not it, hesitates a bit)

Hope this helps.

V Power.

 

Have to agree with you there Bob it's terrible on mine.

Tesco 99 doesn't det but i get lesser performance than i do on V-Power
