in these difficult times, do you think reverting back to 95 octane, or a mix to save some funds at cost of hp?

It's not that.BP goes from 1.23 to 1.39 from 95 to 98 octane.So its more than just 8p. And yes, I try to save from everywhere!Comment

sure i agree, but with vems i can still run 95 without problems, and if i dont go 2bar all the time, it should still be happy at 1.4
do all of you run your cars full beans everyday?Comment

If I'm doing a lot of motorway miles, I blend between Super and 95, never ending up with a tank full of either... With the temperature holding its pants around it's ankles and higher air density, and with the added need of 'boost' due to everyone else suffering epic traction fail, I feel super 'bu@@er-off-RIGHT-now-with total grip' is probably the way to enjoy S2 ownership...

Your right i think you car will run fine on 95, and i have never had any problems using 95 when super is not availiable, but i do give it full beans every day, can't help it
