General TwinAir Thread (including MPG)
That's a really positive comment! I'm averaging around 44-45mpg but still less than 1000 miles, I'm looking forward to watching the average mpg going up a bit

Wow, what an honour. I would like to thank my parents, god, the fairies at the bottom of the garden.......
It was in response to a question responding to an earlier post of mine. I simply forgot to include the quote :bang:

You're tempting me to dislike your post! And I didn't know there were rules about when to "thank" and "like"!
I guess I'm just easily pleased....

Hello twinair users! I was thinking and I assume that since the twinair is turbocharged, you lot put superunlead 97 octane fuel in it, like Shell VPower? If i had a turbo engine i would feel obliged to put the super juice in it and use the normal 95 for 'normal' naturally aspirated engines.
It must add a few hp for the turbo no?

No need, according to the handbook. 95 RON is okay.

Same here with the A500.
I have tried BP Ultimate, Shell V Power and Tesco Momentum but have to be completely honest and say that I haven't noticed any diffference.
This could be because of the way I drive though. :devil:

Does the handbook recommend 98 saying it may give more power? I remember some turbo engines recommending that like I think the Mini Cooper S. If it does not mention anything then i guess yes no need!
The engine management system will to a degree self-adjust to make the best use of the characteristics of the fuel, and theoretically you'd expect a turbo to benefit more that a N/A car from the greater knock resistance of a higher octane fuel. That said, I suspect the real benefit of using any of the 'ultimate' fuels is that they generally have better additives & fewer contaminants, rather than the extra couple of RON points - but tbh I haven't as yet seen any properly substantiated cost-justification for using these super-premium fuels.
So I continue to use normal 95 octane fuel - but I do try to buy branded petrol in preference to the offerings of the local supermarket.

It dosen't seem to do your MPG any harm.
dealer found no issues with the TA so must be my right foot, oddly they must have done something as mpg has got better in the last week
i just stick to branded 95 normally from shell, bp and total
oddly i have had to make a couple of supermarket fills this week and 95 from tesco was awful for economy, oddly the 95 from sainsbury has performed better
