What petrol do you fill the GTI tank with?

[GeoBog]

 Following getting my new GTI last week, I have read the manual which states that the tank should be filled up with minimum 95 Ron petrol and that using a higher octane petrol doesn't make any difference in fuel economy/performance. Also on the tank filler lid the sticker states 95 Ron.
I have been googling a lot and I have also read the other topic which is really old and without concrete information about using a certain type of petrol in the GTI, most of the replies being about "what my mate said he thinks should be used" or about youtube tests on older engine models different to the mk7.

Now that the mk7 GTI has been out there for a while and people had the chance of trying different petrol types, from your own experience since you got your GTI, what petrol do you use?

I have gotten myself into a habit where i only ever use V-Power. Whether it has any added benefits or not i'm not sure but i'd rather pay the few extra pence for peace of mind

Super unleaded for me.  Its worth it for a car such as the GTI.  If nothing else there may be more additives / cleaners in it than in standard petrol

I've heard people using V-power however where I live there isn't any Shell station nearby and also none on my route to work and back. I've only got Esso, Total and BP but as far as I know, the super unleaded at these is 97 Ron. Will that be ok?

tesco 99 all the way for me

Me too, only every used Tesco 99 since picking up the car - doubt it really makes a difference but why skimp

I am certain I get slightly better mpg and a better pickup from the engine using Super unleaded in my 09 Scirocco. Shell V-Power or Nitro Plus I think they call it now, seems to be the favourite and that is what I go for.

BP Ultimate I also find to be very good.

I use 95, I put 99 in every now and again as a treat and I can't feel any difference.  I can only think it's psychosomatic.

Petrol's expensive enough these days as it is    it was 38p when I started driving!

Same here. I've tried BP normal, BP Ultimate, Shell normal and Shell V-Power Nitro Plus. Honestly I can't notice a difference in performance or economy so I just use normal unleaded now.

If the car isn't optimised for anything higher than RON95, you're chucking 8-10p a litre away on RON97-99. Just buy some additive to put in every 4th tank to keep everything clean.
