Well ive only ever put optimax/v-power in the cossy and cant say ive noticed a difference. I would have thought it would be very marginal and not even noticeable in reality though. I work my mpg out in the van on every fill up to make sure everythings running as it should (sad i know
), i dont see a difference at all whatever diesel i put in.

i use v power at the moment and to be honest i think the mpg is shit. I put it in my cossie i used to put 40 quid in and do 190 mile. I dont know if thats about right for a cossie cause any petrol car with a turbo is use more fuel than a petrol engine without a turbo.

I remember when i filled up with regular diesel from Shell. When i went in to pay, the cashier was saying i should try the v-power diesel as it will give you 5% more mpg. I said, well thats no good then cos its 10% more expensive!!!! ![Surprised](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/bigcry.gif)

why no normal petrol option?
dont get as many mpg from optimax as i do from tesco usual stuff tbh.
And dont see the point wasting money on super unleaded not at the price it costs to run the cars now anyway![Wall](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/wall.gif)

from a performance point of view in performance ford last year optimax gave the best power, all tested on the same engine
if that helps
![Big Grin](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif)
Tbh the Cossie only got ran on super if it was going to a rolling road or the likes, it ran perfectly fine on standard fuel so didnt see the point wasting the extra money, they werent supposed to be ran on 99 ron from Ford when brand new were they

it doesn't matter what i put into the van dieselwise as it all depends on what sort of traveling i do in what van it is
the only measurably difference was with the bp super diesel that provided more poke at the top end of the rev range in the vitos, nothing different on the connects of the transit that i have noticed so far
as for petrol, it doens't matter what i put in, the car only does about 15 mpg around town and if i do 60 mph it'll creep up to about 36 mpg on the motorway

if you want to work out your mpg based on how much fuel you fill by the £ rather than the litre, have a look at this online calculator

wasnt yours a t4 engine?
id be suprised if it should run std fuel tbh... may well be the cause of your failiure....
why only run super on the dyno?...thats when they could have spotted the issue...was it live mapped? if so i bet it was mapped on high octane fuel?

it depends what it was mapped to run...i can only run 99 octane, as it was mapped for it.

I've never ever noticed any MPG difference between any fuels......
In fact the only differences I've noticed are that Optimax smells sweet, and my Capri pinks on 95 RON... end of story![LOL](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)
Trying to get good MPG is soul destroying, so I just keep filling up, and grin and bear it....
