Greenman Posted June 18, 2020 Report Share Posted June 18, 2020 When I got mine a did a bit of experimentation with different fuels, carefully monitoring mpg, subjective performance etc. There was no discernible difference in performance or how well the car ran no matter what fuel was used. However I did see an mpg improvement using the higher RON fuels, it averaged out at an 8% mpg improvement. At the time Tesco momentum was 5p/litre more than their standard so seemed a no brainier to use it where possible, that is what I have done ever since. Unfortunately momentum is now 7p/litre more, so marginal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
