I have a rrc 3.5 v8 1986 engine and i was wondering if i could use v-power fuel????
-
I have to be onest its not worth the extra price yes thers is a performance difference but barely noticable
-
unless your running a high performance car then do not bother
-
My mate runs it in his TVR 430 HC and reckons it's really good. I tried it in the LSE and it was just harder to start. Works best with high compresson engines, most RRC are not even as high as my LSE.

Hi, Thanks for your reply's. I think i will just to putting in the "95", plus it's cheaper. :D
I go the petrol station nearly every day. :'( so a saving goes in my favour.

I run it in my CTR and do notice a slight difference in both performance and economy, however I wouldn't bother putting it in anything made in Solihul!

No that's right, the 9.35:1 V8 was described as the low compression engine (what that makes the othe rone I don't know) as the SD1 was over 10:1 IIRC and higher octane fuel suits high compression engines.
Plus I'm hearing that "normal" unleaded is higher octane than it used to be :-k
