question about petrol

Luketehpro · 20-03-2010, 08:20 PM

i have a mk1 focus RS and currently run in on shells vpower fuel (which at the moment is already £1.28 ish) but with petrol due to go up again, i was wondering is it worth all that extra money? would normal fuel be fine,

so say you should always use to high performance fuel on cars like these others say it dosent matter as its not that higher performance car.

i just duno! car is adveragin 17mpg at the mo

Deffo cheaper than a new engine m8,.

phil_focus · 20-03-2010, 09:10 PM

i dont know if the rs is setup for v-power but if it is and/or has been tuned on v-power and you stick in 95 ron it will pink like buggery destroying the pistons and combustion chambers.

wanna switch to the cheaper stuff now then? lol

cossie4i_ · 20-03-2010, 09:16 PM

Luketehpro · 20-03-2010, 09:24 PM

it was just a question dont flame me

n not flat out all the time but as i dont drive it to work or anything when i do get a chance to drive it i like to go fast haha

focusv8 · 20-03-2010, 10:01 PM

You won't have a choice soon, there's a national shortage of Vpower,

Lambchop · 20-03-2010, 11:38 PM

it even say on the inside of the cap 97+ ron you stupid fuck

17mpg = 17 x 11ga = 187 miles which is SHITE.

I get MINIMUM 230 and can be 330 on a motorway run! not even close to 17.

17 is evo territory.

My car is recommended 97 ron but handbook says you can use 95, obviously with reduced performance ( hardly noticeable ), so thats what i do, with the odd tank of 97

Is it another frustrating sat night alone beating your meat?

botters · 21-03-2010, 12:36 AM

i would use a minimum of super unleaded and even then i would be wary of ragging it

You'd fill a car recommended to run on 97ron, with 97ron fuel and then be wary of giving it stress.

Cheers,
Grant

pani_k · 21-03-2010, 12:50 AM

Standard Focus' have RON adjustment so they can compensate. Not sure about the RS models but if you cannot afford to put V-Power or even high octane fuel in then you shouldn't be driving it I'm afriad you said it wasn't your daily so simply don't drive it if that's the case. Turbocharged cars especially do not like standard fuel if they are designed to run on high octane stuff. My focus even though is a 1.8 was custom mapped at MSD on V-Power so have no choice but to use it and 1.8 blacktops are ten a penny but still don't fancy knackering it by being cheap.

Come on to fuck what has your car got to do about a thread asking which ron to run on a FRS?

Frustrating night alone? No mate i had a rather nice night out with quite a few beers and ended the night nicely telling some fucktards on pf that they are being knobs

IT SAYS INSIDE THE CAP!

Why exactly do the car companies make more if you put in more expensive petrol that doesnt belong to them and hence make no money out of? ROTF

Of course its obvious. He should run it on diesel. Much better fuel economy that way

Luketehpro · 21-03-2010, 11:04 AM

nope i didnt mention anything about a sticker all i said was would the normal stuff be fine and is it worth all the extra money, i sed u seemed abit of a cock because of the way your coming across i asked a simple question, i never said it shouldnt always be top fuel i asked what the diff was and if it was actually worth it.

Lambchop · 21-03-2010, 11:08 AM

Last Q...

Did you mis spell your username? Should it be Lukethepro? Thats a genuine question before you freak out

I wondered the same about mongdeo man. Surely it's be czech mate?

Luketehpro · 21-03-2010, 11:10 AM

lol nope its rite x

Lambchop · 21-03-2010, 11:52 AM

Ahh you're a batty too?

Luketehpro · 21-03-2010, 11:55 AM

all day long! lol force of habit!

Lambchop · 21-03-2010, 12:09 PM

Here's a helpful post.

If you're bothered about the petrol costs then use tesco 99 ron which is only 5p/litre more than whatever their normal unleaded price is. In comparison V power is always 7 p more than NU.

Even better is Sainsbury 97 RON at 3p above their NU price.

I use both in my FRS.

In fact depending where i am it may be tesco, sainsbury, v power, or esso. Only difference i ever notice is the price!

I refer to the bit in red

I read it as a general question to everyone who uses super not just about his FRS but appreciate your frustration

ALSO my car says 97 only inside the fuel flap but the manual says otherwise so was suggesting someone check the FRS manual as at the time I had posted that nobody had established for certain that FRS are 97 only as from my experience the fuel filler sticker on a car isnt always right and nobody had stated otherwise

So really I dont see what the fuck you were moaning about as all you'd mentioned was the sticker. I was just offering clarification
