Title: Fuel and Oil for the GTi
Post by: am1w on 01 May 2010, 20:46
Interesting site:

Have used BG44K on my car.

Am going to order some NF octane booster from here:

No harm done! 

PS: Hope Rhyso won't lock and move this one! :smiley:

Interesting site don't you think?

The one thing I noticed is that my fuel consumption improved by approximately 4 mpg within 2 days of use, even though I used the car in 6-7 miles of stop start-traffic! This made me happy. Did the engine seem quieter? Maybe. :rolleyes:

I am going to next try the octane booster and see how that affects the car's performance. As I  have access to only Total and BP garages with 97 RON fuels, this might prove helpful. Will keep you posted.

Just a bump up the table for you really but also a fuel related question.

When you remove the fuel filler cap is there not suppose to be a small metal flap there? Mines just a black plastic pipe with a hole going to im guessing the tank and what i guess is a small hole at the top thats the breather. :huh:
