monsween Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 This has probably been done to death and feel free to delete if it has however with the price difference being 10p or so i thought i'd ask What do you guys use, Premium or normal? Personally i only put premium in it unless the lights on and there is only normal, i just put enough to get me to the next place haha.

RobSheffield Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 NA or TT? NA is fine on normal TT prefers premium, but will be ok on normal if you stay off boost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benyon Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 With all turbo imports you should use higher octane fuel 98+, The N/A runs fine with normal, But none of them run with diesel:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Super unleaded ("normal" unleaded is supposedly 91RON, premium unleaded is the normal 95RON you get everywhere though) in a TT. Whatever you feel like using in an NA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevilSupra Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 at least 98ron if you run high boost on stock twins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miko_supra Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 I ran my TT on stock boost with normal unleaded and at high speeds on the motorway it was running terribly at high boost (stuttering and cutting) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pabs Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Always V-power here - nothing else. (TT) All of my performance cars have run badly on anything other than super unleaded. My car wouldn't idle properly on Morrisons petrol at all (Leon Cupra) so I've never been back there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
couv3z Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 oh so its just me that runs normal supermarket petrol in the TT, i've never noticed it shudder or cutting (out i assume) at lower end or high end speeds i have put high octane but the only differance i feel is lighter as my wallet is empty so i guess it does improve the power to weight ratio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesmark Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 If petrol costs are a worry then sell up and buy a more economical car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Raven Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 OK so explain the uk TT then? That must have been built to run on normal unleaded? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonT Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 V Power all the way!! Wouldn't put anything else in it if its a TT especially supermarket fuel with the amount of additives they put in it to ruin your engine:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CardiffSupra Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 I used V-power when I could if not normal petrol works fine, Couldn't notice any diffrence at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie_b Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 OK so explain the uk TT then? That must have been built to run on normal unleaded? From what I've read on here in the past, the UK TT is mapped to run on normal unleaded because that's what's commonly available (and is the "norm" for the UK). J-spec cars are mapped to run on high octane unleaded because that's commonly available ("the norm") in Japan. NA cars are more forgiving of lower octane fuels (not sure why, someone else may enlighten you if you're curious), so they can be run OK on normal UL.

Dyer864 Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Been running my jspec na on premium unleaded for around a month or two now, and got to say performance wasn't that exciteing(being a na wot u xpect) but this week i've put in tescos super 99 and for some reason it does seem a bit more responsive ! so i'll stick with the "SUPER" stuff from now !
