Whats the best fuel to use on Evo's

[superfootwear]

Hi all wanted to know peoples opinion on what fuel to use in the evo. People talk about using shell V-power because it has a 99 octane level. Whats everyone think or does anyone have any cheaper options that the car will still run nicely on.
Thanks

TBH im not one for all the branding. Any of the high octains are going to be fine unless you map the car to be right on the limit (which is dodgy given the amount of fuel variance in the UK).

Oh and I could sell you some motorsport fuel at around £2.72/L ex delivery

Tesco's 99 is the best.. less knock with tescos in oppose to V power

We can't get tesco 99 around tiverton devon

petrol

I work in the petrol industry and i have been told that tesco is not always 99 and v-power is the best petrol to get out of a pump if you going to map your car i can get you a company that will sale you any octains level you want because they make it for toytota f1 and british superbikes but it will cost a lot more then v-power .i hope this helps you paul

hi nick wot octain is that then

 

[Evo Ash]

Only thing is if you have it mapped on high octane stuff it dont run as well on pump fuel and thats where youll get more knock from on higher boost settings
