I'm now 3 tanks into the Nitro (previously using V Power) and my DIS is reporting an astonishing 10% or thereabouts improvement.
This could be down to the warmer weather being kinder to my very short commutes, but even on runs I'm being surprised at the 20+ MPG figures being reported

OK so I fell for the marketing hype as well and filled up with this today. Didnt do enough miles afterwards on roads without speed limits which plod are known to frequent to test its "extra" power qualities, however it must be good, cost me £7 a tank more than my usual 95ron, thats a whole months pocket money

Will report back when I get a chance to try it on the twisty stuff at the weekend

Brother in Law was on about it today, seems to be giving him a big increase in mileage in his 1.8T Passat..

I've just refilled with Nitro, having finally drained mine of the B*llsh*t Sainsury's fuel I mistakenly put in it. Apart from the car running much rougher on that, I think the fuel consumption was more than 5% worse on that with the Nitro. I'll have a more accurate comparison after this latest tankful of Nitro.
