V-power BP Super or Momentum

[morty1961]

I'm sure it's been discussed before but who uses what in their V12's (or comments froman V8 owners as well)

[divetheworld]

Unless you have knock sensors in your V12 then super will have little effect.
I still only put it in when I have the choice.

It's a 59 plate manual so don't think they have knock sensors do they??? Handbook actually says use 98 RON for optimum performance??

Correct, no knock sensors, but I always put VPower in. Best car. Best fuel. Seemples..

Always , only and religiously , no fanatically v power

V power since day 1 for me and I’ll continue using it so don’t know any difference to comment on anything else.

V - Power in any thing.

Tescos normal unleaded.
db9.2
seems fine to me.

[funboxster]

V Power for me, but I'm not convinced. My DB11 has got SUL from Sainsburys in it at the mo, as local Shell closed for refurb, and seems fine.

I use Esso standard unleaded, was told by BR that there is no gain by using anything better

2007 V8V. Tesco Momentum 99 because it's local.

Recently recorded 383hp at Surrey Rolling Road so it appears to be working OK !

I use Momentum. I think it is 1 Ron more than V-Power or is it BP Super, can't recall but every Ron helps. I consol myself with the thought I am buying 5* fule at 4* prices compared to BP, Esso or Shell.

I think Mike from Bamford said the premium fuels are worth no more than 5BHP.

Use higher octane fuels such as BP, as they apparently contain less ethanol which screws up the old fuel lines and my fuel pumps (especially when used infrequently)

No knock sensors on an old Vanquish, so no power difference.

I,m using 100 octane fuel here in Europe.
