Therefore I use tesco 99 in her.
It would pre-det on 95 so there is definately a difference, not sure if you'd see it in a '6 though!
Ok cheers, seems to be mixed opinions looking around on the gti6.net forum
Tbh for the extra 4-6p or whatever it is a litre it's only an extra couple of quid (at the most) per tank.
Might as well run on 99 and see for yourself.
It certainly won't do any harm!
Thats what im going to do, going to try the 95 then try the 99 from tesco an see what difference it makes, cheers

Don't really see using premium petrol as that much of an expense personally when compared to buying diesel, anything under 1.40 a litre feels like a bargain haha.
On the subject of different countries and what's available on their forecourts, ever seen how much choice French stations have?
Thanks for sharing your experiences, no texaco fuel stations near me unfortunately

You will get higher mpg with higher octances, but then they cost more, and I've never actually sat down and done the maths to work out precisely which is better value for money.
Thanks for the info, where do you get your standard 95 from then? Also have you tried the higher up stuff andnoticed much of a difference?
