I was planning in putting some in to my GTI, people say it's good for performance cars dunno why tho as it's a fuel that can be used in all unleaded cars I presumed

Your GTI engine was designed for 98 RON fuel and normal unleaded is 95 RON. So you should find a little more power, more mpg and less chance of pinking.
I think in everyday driving if it does not pink you will notice very little difference. But you could run a little more advance to generate more power from the fuel that is less prone to early detonation.

I always run super in mine and she is definitely more responsive. But mine being supercharged has a compression ratio of 8.5:1 so easily copes with ordinary unleaded, as I found out when going to Ireland as they do not have super at all !!

Cheers,

I was actually going to ask you all the same question but what I also would of added was….

Do MK1s actually prefer the super stuff or would it be too 'rich' for such an old engine? I was worried to put shell V power in mine incase the injection system didnt like it….

The opposite actually, the GTI engine is a high compression engine 10.5:1 it designed to run higher octane fuel

Lol i was the same santi, but I think that what I'm going to stick to now for the GTI, my fuel was low already so I think all the new fuel going in will be v power nitro +, the station near me has normal unleaded for 109.9 and this v power nitro + is 117.9 but well worth the money and if we remember correctly we were paying more than. That on normal unleaded at one point so it's a good deal if it helps our little monsters  :thumbs: :lol:
