Aside from the performance gains you will notice your car stops burning oil (bizzar) and you get more miles for your money. Takin this into account it works out no more expensive than the 95ron standard stuff and you get a better conditioned engine and slightly more performance.

Tis good stuff - it is basically what all fuels should be like but unfortunately coz most people don't care for their cars the demand is not there for the petrol companies to refine their fuels! Shame!

Been running it in my 8 valve for 8 months 6,000 miles and i have not had to top up the oil once! On the dipstick the level has not moved 1mm, tis incredable! At this rate its gonna go from service to service with out me touching it! Anyone else noticed this?

Right - i'm convinced. Should be putting some in next week.

I used to put it in my 306 xsi 16v and made it far better, but i was a bit unsure about the golf.

I'll update once i've put in 3 tanks.

I've used Optimax since I bought my 8v a couple of months ago. I love it. It is a bit more responsive and it has increased the economy to a point where it works out the same per mile as normal unleaded. This plus the benefits of reduced engine wear means its a good choice.

Been running optimax for the last 4 fills, noticed slight increase in responsiveness, not really with speed.  2nd gear bites harder.  Give it a go.

Optimax is good for my 8v but i live about 15mile from my nearest Shell so I use BP Premium 97RON instead as its 1mile from my house :D
