I will gladly post some proof that some cars see improvement when I get home.  The question is is the mk7 one of them.

Look forward to reading that Bill. I hope the new Mk7 GTI engine is documented so we can put this baby to rest. Can it, or can it not take advantage of higher octane fuels?
Current: BMW M140i / ZF8 / 5 DR

John its still not clear to me what your mk5 running like a dream or your mates audi vvt have to do with the mk7 or octane, I'll be interested if you can explain the relevance.

The point I was making was that the post said after a car was remapped it needed to be run on 98, but it does not as it made no difference to the gti I had remapped at 2000 miles to the power or fuel consumption or long term reliability. They keep going on about the 98 cleaning your engine but having used cheaper fuel for so long there is no prove it does. You are asking about vvt and I am telling you that in the Audi engine my friend has been trying tesco 99 and has seen no difference. So why would the gti be any better?

I am not saying you are wrong, but if your look at using any different fuel then they say it needs 3 full tanks to notice any difference.

I have had 9 remapps done from Andy at Clydebank from celtic tuning and they have never ever told me to use better fuel, nor did superchips when the done the mark 6 gti said it would make no difference.

Mate go and watch the video that is posted, the point here is that if your gti is meant to run 95 then putting 99 in will make no difference to output or consumption, we are not talking about racing cars here. And out the of all the gti's I have had it makes no difference wether you use 99 or 95. It is all tosh
