Is it mapped to use super though?

was yours specifically mapped for Super though Wayne?

Not really, however it recommends super as standard on the filler cap plus the guy doing the remap said it is much better to use it.

But having tried super I don't really think it makes much difference what is strange however is that on super, mpg drops by around 4mpg.

If with a mapped car, if you use low octane fuel, could it start to misfire?
80% of your posts are total tripe, as they are mostly replies to sh1te posts created by the morons that, unfortunately this forum attracts.

If I ever have to put normal in I'll get some logs of the timing for a comparison :wink:

Lmfao, the placebo effect is a human trait, you can't apply it to a car, either it gets more power or it doesn't.......

So...

Will normal supermarket stuff with Millers Power Eco Max help until you get to a V-Power pump?

Obviously I'd refrain from thrashing it until the proper stuff was in it.
