i have to travel around 20 miles to get V-Power but i usually get one of the drivers at work to fill a two 20litre jerry cans.
i need my car tomorrow but its low on fuel, my question is will i do any damage or start causing damage if i put unleaded in but drive off boost??
btw single turbo if it makes much difference
thanks

I believe you will be safe to run even on 95 fuel as long as you do stay off boost.
Did probably 10,000 miles on normal unleaded in the last FD I used daily, running a bar on a medium size single. Never used to ping, knock wasnt noticeably higher than on V Power.
Assuming you have an after market ecu being single turbo, I doubt your map is that on the edge that running unleaded for a while is going to instantaneously implode your engine.
Ofcourse, you makes your choices and takes your chances! Ask whoever built your engine if you\'re that bothered.
cheers for the bit of info guys, forgot about the thread. its running apexi.
puts my mind at rest :D
to be honest i dont notice much of a difference between super unleaded and v power. I always put super in thou and have never used normal unleaded so not sure if it makes much difference
