I always use Shell V Power but have used Tesco Ultimate 99 with good results.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hi All
As a fairly new owner of a 996 2003 Cabriolet, I was wondering which type of unleaded fuel is best to use. A fellow C2 owner friend of mine swears by the '99 Super Unleaded' but would like to gauge people's opinion.
Thanks
Jonathan
Hi Jonathan,
Welcome to the forum.
Nice car! Very good choice [
] (not that I am biased in anyway!!)
I have always used Shell V-Power. I suppose any high octane fuel would be good if you have a preference. Everyone has their own experiences and I am aure you will get some other opinions from others.
I once did a trial with V Power as my 997 'pinked' on normal unleaded. Though V power cost more, I got better fuel economy. I think I actually broke even. I always use V power petrol now (except in my diesel Q3!) [
]
I put in anything 98 Ron or above apart from supermarket stuff. I have put 95 when desperate due to lack of filling stations but didn't like it placebo effect on or off.
I always use Shell V-Power in my performance cars.
I will only use other super unleaded (97/98/99 RON) fuel if I am desperate and can't find a Shell. Even then, I will only put a small amount in, enough to get me to a Shell station [

Shell V-power every time for me. (well, apart from the once I had to put in £10 worth of BP Ultimate to get to a shell garage about 3 years ago).
IIRC it's one of the few fuels that comes from a specific Shell refinery near Runcorn, rather than supermarkets who just shop around / get the cheapest on a week-by-week basis.
I always use Shell V Power but have used Tesco Ultimate 99 with good results. This is the only car I have noticed the difference in the way it drives when running on 95 octane after being forced to use it due to lack of Super.
I also quite liked the Texaco Super on the occasion that I used it but Shell is what I use in the main.
For info, I used to live on the Isle of Man and Super just wasn't available. Ran my Quattro on 95 without problems although owners manual says use 98 min only. I haven't bought petrol there for 12 years or so but they didn't have storage facilities for anything but 95 and diesel. Might be different now but they do sell a few Porsches there.
