ste91 Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 And some people say we're out of the recession. My arse are we, it's barely started. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Michel_M Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Bunch of whiners! BP Ultimate is 1.62 euros here, about 1.45 GBP. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Russleh Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 wtf lol. thats expensive. we could be out of recession if the people running the country had a clue. we the only ones still fuckin about. most other countries are on the up. our government dont seem to understand that when they need money charging the fuck out of the public doesnt help the recession even tho it makes them money. and stupid things that they change like gettin rid of stamp duty for 7 months which will cost £500m and replacing it with a scheme thats only goin to bring in £300m. they try to save money and end up making more debt. worldwide strike is needed before companies start goin bust left right n centre again. rant over for now lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ForresGlanza Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 ^^^ agree with you dude. Chargin more for every thing means we are less inclined to spend our money. Resulting in small businesses and the likes goin bust. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BAZ2CRAZY Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Recessions/inflation etc etc are man made...Controlled by the federal reserve and banking system.It happens on purpose.Fuckers.Mitch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Michel_M Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 At least petrol prices were down a lot at the beginning of the recession, now those oil companies are just supplying less so they can get more money for it (and you can't really blame them, they're a business not charity).

Dan Evans Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 dont really see the point in spending the extra on V power, 99 ultimate etc.. when you drive a starlet???they run on any petrol, its only EVO's and impreza's etc that need the expensive stuff.I've used the more expensive fuels loads of time, cant feel or see any difference what so ever.

BAZ2CRAZY Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Yes... they do run on any petrol...But they dont run as well on a 95ron compared to 99ron... seeing as though that is what the ecu was programmed for..Especially with high compression/turbo'd cars... regardless of whether its a 'scooby' or 'evo'.Mitch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dan Evans Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 in all honesty, i cant feel a difference at all, apart from i have more cash in my back pocket from using the normal stuff.can you honestly say it performs any differently at all? is there a rolling road figure from one type of fuel to the other?

SiCaln Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 £1.26 where i am! never left tho Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BAZ2CRAZY Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Whether or not it would make more power... i dont know.. but what i do know is that you be able to make more power due to the fuel having a higher flash point.Premature detonation can be a problem which can put focussed stress on components.. bore/piston/rings.Sup to you brother , i know what id prefer to put in my tank.Mitch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest ep82_girl Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 i only use v power in may car mainly because shell is nice and close and there is always a huge que in tesco's i dont know about performance wise but i feel and a few people have said the same you get more MPG on v power than you do normal unleadedxxx Quote Link to post Share on other sites
redline Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 it does make a diffrance as i think they tryed it on 5th gear on the rollers there was a gain in the bigger performance cars 1 of them was a scooby Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Plus the car runs loads better, has done in every single car ive hadDamien Quote Link to post Share on other sites
