[QUOTE="1975DCS, post: 106060, member: 626"] If you don't map it to the higher 98-102 octane there no point in putting that fuel in... But if you put it in, the operator should be able to advance the ignition of your engine further before knocking occurs (your knock sensor will prevent this, but if it is active it is cutting out). But let's face it: our cars are modest, compression ratio of 11:1 isn't that high for modern engines and putting in higher then 98 would be a waste of money I suppose. I use V-Power in Holland which has an unofficial Octanenumber of 97, but official it is 95. Octane 98 is hard to get these days, most pump have 95 and 95 Eco fuel on the 2nd nozzle were 98 used to be. So my best bet was to get 97 which is available everywhere. So that what is put in the tank before mapping it, as a result I will always have the same Octanenumber and fuel formula. If we all would have Super 1600 Clio engines with 13:1 compression ratio we would need some pretty high octane fuel to get the best out of the engine! [/QUOTE]
