best petrol for a mk4 gti?

I use 95ron cause its not mapped and I don't seem to get any gains (power or mpg) on the higher octain stuff.

however don't use Sainsbury's hgh octain fuel, I tried it cause I accidently picked up the wrong fuel pump, car seemed to run worse...

Mine was mapped and would work on normal and super unleaded but as Dom said it is better to use super if you can.

Mines mapped for V Power, works fine on 95 though. Plus I can't afford V Power 

Thats cus u drive a golf pal
And nice one folks! Tbh i aint noticed much between vpower and tesco other than the smell when u pump it in..ohh and vpower is alot more expensive!

I used to use Tesco momentum 99 but after hearing it's 95 with ethanol in it (to boost the octane rating) I went over to shell

Apparently methanol is very bad for your fuel lines !!

[GTi_James]

how much is fuel costs in your areas? mines currently at £1.32 for unleaded from shell and £1.38 for Vpower?

well it was when i went past this morning, our pumps change prices like a hooker changes corners

It's about £1.32 in Manchester as well, far too high.

It's about £1.32 in Manchester as well, far too high.

i swear when i was watching the news last night it showed BP prices at £1.03?!?!? was i seeing things or were they using old footage?

[bobbarley]

Yeah, I've lived in Manchester for over 6 years and it's never been that low

Think tesco's in thetford is just shy of £1.36 for 95 and just under £1.40 for momentum 99 
Did toy with getting v power but nearest one is 10-15 miles away ,but may use it as an exucse to give the car a run lol

I use nothing but V Power now
