Was driving around Guildford and the like today looking for nice country roads to drive in (living in London is a pain)
I had been driving for 90 minutes and mpg had settled to 29.8
I ran the tank down to the last five litres (prev petrol unknown as filled by dealers; so yes, probs the cheapest they could find)
Put in a full tank of V-Power Nitro +
Drove home normally and mpg crept to 30.3 by the time I got home.
I know there are tons of variables and it's early days, but considering I just wasn't breaking 30mpg for so long, and on an almost empty tank (weight saving), then fill up with V-Power and start to do better, coincidence?
The fuel cap does say 98RON on the R and I know at this scale with a turbo fuel quality can start to show small gains.
V-Power Nitro +

Re: V-Power Nitro +
I only use Vpower and occasionally use octane booster too! That's only because mine is heavily tuned.
I get 24MPG on average though
