Makes sod all difference that I can see. MPGs will always change unless you drive the exact same route in the exact same traffic/weather conditions with the exact same amount of air in your tyres etc etc etc, which lets face it, never going to happen so you can never test it properly.

Shouldn't 8vs be run on 95? I seem to remember seeing a sticker on the fuel flap but can't quite remember what it says.

I use shell normal fuel, as my OH has an Egg credit card that gives us cashback at shell stations, and the shell is competatively priced to start with.

GTI's should be on 98 ron.

These fuel threads are getting really boring. There must be hundreds of them now in the Golfgti archives.

99, 95, octane :huh:. No wonder, the euro GTI stuff. out of the box, ya'lls run circles around the American :embarassed: versions. Along w/ that 99 octane, c'mon guys ship some over here. the best we get out of the pump is 93, the only way to get the good stuff 101 or better. Is from a auto performance shop @ 4.50 a gal.  at least.:embarassed:    :sad:
