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,.

 

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

 

17mpg

Do you drive flat out all the time ?

Steve

 

...i get 13mpg in the m5 and thats only the occasional light foot down

 

lol
i put std unleaded in teh cupra today, fuck 130 p/l
i still gave it teh beans on teh way home with little noticable drop in power, did notice but i still went past everything

my leon will take fuel type into its map tho so knows when its bein fed shit

 

But thats twice the weight over twice the cc and 100 times better car lol

Steve

 

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

 

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

,

 

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.

 

Chop you shouldn't have sugar coated your reply...

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

 

Some people are just so fucking stupid. as if a label isn't enough they come and ask a public bb and offer themselves for ridicule!

and you drive a focus rs? err thought not.

mongdeo man i'm sure?

 

at least a mondeos a ford, unlike that evo crap u mensioned earlier u gay

 

WHAT A FUCKING BELLEND

The End.

 

Chop you bell end, I didn't say it was an frs, I just said what I do.

Is it another frustrating sat night alone beating your meat?

 

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.

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.

 

not all super is 97 mate especially not supermarket stuff

 

 

chop lad you legend mate...ROFL....

 

i dont no why every1s going mad it was just a simple question about the downside of using the cheaper fuel, i didnt say i was going to, you no what car companys are like they tell you to put more exspensive stuff in to make more money ne way!

 

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

 

u seem abit of a cock tbh

 

Because i pointed out that your question was ridiculous and the answer is even on a sticker on the car?

 

You come on asking if you should do what it says on the tin, and coz someone laughs at you for being a fucktard, he's a cock?

How does that work then

 

Thanks mate. I guess you think it's pretty obvious too? lol

 

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

 

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.

 

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?

 

lol nope its rite x

 

Ahh you're a batty too?

 

all day long! lol force of habit!

 

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!

 

He doesn't suffer fools gladly grantyboy.

 

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

Mardy cunt

 

what exactly is your car then? is it 2litre turbo charged petrol?

i'm not sure if you're part of the wanky octavia vrs group or not

 

yes it is

dont really see the 'wanky' thing, its a great car depite your own personal inferiority complex re the badge

Check out some reviews

I could go on about your cars, but each to their own

 

ROFL.....
