What jiuce are you drinking?

Hi

Just a quickie….

Are you guys and gals burning regular unleaded or super?

I read somewhere that injection models should be on super to prevent engine damage.

I'm not that lucky, as I only have a 1.8 carb!!

lpg!

Mine runs best on BP ultimate.  8)

Bag of spanners on Tescos, and Shell Optimax (or whatever they call it now) seems to cause a bit of backfire!!!  8O

I don't care what you run,I buy the cheapest fuel as I drive past. I honestly don't think it makes that much difference in an 8 valver of this vintage. My 20 Valve Turbo Volvo does drive better on high octane but then again its a modern multi valve engine and should. Don't waste your time going for extra power from your Golf though, waste of money.

Tian :wink:

i think it depends on how your timings set up tbh
i can run pretty much anything without too much difference, but i do notice it when i run 97 and wack some octane booster in as well

Biodiesel mix at mo :wink:

Always super unleaded! 97-99 octane!

Mind you the other week had to put a fiver in coz the petrol station I went in did not have super and I was very low!!! and it pinked like crazy and power was noticbly sapped!!!

never ever gonna put normal un-leaded in it again!!!

Really? What have you got? I've tried both in mine and noticed no difference at all.

This magic can of fuel injection/air thingy that VW gave me to stick in the fuel tank is working an absolute treat though - my car hums happily once more…mmm….

I run the GL on unleaded and the GTI on Shell V-Power (99 octane, apparently). I tend to go to the same filling station, which is a Shell, mainly because its also the cheapest in the area.

Definately feel a difference when using super unleaded. even more so when I use Shell Optimax! Ive got a DX code 1.8 gti 1983.

Felt so under powered when I put normal unleaded the other week, then filled it back up with Optimax and she went like a rocket!!

Perhaps it's worth getting a tune up and trying the Optimax juice.

Tian. :wink:

Shell V-power…mine doesn't like BP ultimate and I really notice the difference if I just use normal unleaded….the difference is under a fiver a tank but I get better mpg with the high octane stuff - false economy to go for cheaper fuel IMO  

Cheers,

Rach

so shell optimax gettin good review…think that will be my next tank full then iv never tried super unleaded petrols in mine.
