Standard vs Premium Fuels

[Matt-Rallye]

I only ever run my cars on texaco fuels petrol or diesel. I have noticed a difference running the gti6 on texaco 97 however, it just seems to run better and as bizzare as it sounds I'm sure I get slightly better mpg off it too

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?

I have also noticed after running my rallye on 97 (texaco) for the first time at FCS it starts better, idles sweeter and just generally seemed too pick up better and throttle response seemed alot sharper.

Mine only ever sees the morrisons cheapo fuel with a healthy dose of octane booster. Everything else is texaco.
