#1: Bad Petrol Effect Power? Author: Nathaniel206, Location: WolverhamptonPosted: Thu Feb 23, 2012 1:35 am ---- Just a quick one, Can bad petrol effect power? Just after i had my car back, and the misfire fixed, it had this nice bit more of an umph. Drove around for about 2 hours ( not just driving, Had stuff to do lol ) But i went and put £20 petrol in and it is like it has lost that extra umph, misfire is not back, ticks over smothly, just lost that umph.

I had the same problem with my GTi 180 once. I proved that they did it and BP gave me 6 months worth of free fuel for my trouble
Put some petrol flush/ treatment into the tank and go to a garage you know has good fuel and it should be fine. Be thankful you don't drive a diesel lol!
