    Best Petrol for Leon FR 2.0 TFSI?

    Wish I could find it that much, tend to pay about 103 for 95 and 112 for v power. There isn't a tesco filling station near or on route to anywhere I go.

    Best Petrol for Leon FR 2.0 TFSI?

    its back to the old question...Can you justify the extra 10P or so a litre?? I always used v power but then have used 95ron stuff a few times and didn't notice a great deal difference in MPG, performance there was a difference but not significant.

    Tips to increase MPG ?

    Does this include the wife and kids! I tend to get about 24-25MPG but then have seen 30+ on the A1 at 60MPH and locally driving it steady when I found a nail in the tyre. I don't advise putting a nail in the tyres to get better MPG though:ban:

    I am glad to hear they have a good rim protector, I think thats the main thing for me. To be honest am I really going to notice a massive difference in performance being an desk jockey! Seen some Goodyears on my friends ST they have a good rim protector on as well. :confused:

    Cheap tyres,brand snobbery ?

    I know what you mean because I went to the local tyre place who I trust and they had some kumho tyres that looked OK. But because I didn't know what they were I wasn't interrested. I think they problem is the unknown, if you had them before and knew what they were like then your opinion may...

    just seen the GSD3's on offer are they worth a punt being slightly older tyres?

    Choosing Tyres

    I kind of got that feeling from reading some of the other threads. I would probably have gone with the P Zero's that are on now if they had a decent rim protector as I can't fault them.
