L22EEW Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 As per title, what are peoples thoughts on this? 1.0T EcoBoost with stage 1 ECU remap - i'm wondering if a more premium fuel with be much of a difference? I've always stuck with the 95 on my previous Clio. Adding some Redex to the tank every few months, and never had any issues. Now owning something with more of a boost, just wondering if it's worth going from 95 to 97 or 99 unleaded? I'm not really fussed about the extra pennies... ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONDEO TXS 2.2 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 1 or 2 b.h.p. at most, but a cleaner burn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Knight Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 There was quite an extensive discussion about it here: http://www.fordownersclub.com/forums/topic/71284-the-difference-of-v-power-unleaded-in-the-st/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L22EEW Posted June 23, 2015 Author Share Posted June 23, 2015 Nice one. Did have a quick search before posting. Obviously not looking hard enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfriel2 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 If you've had the remapped, there's a decent chance that it's calibrated to make the most of higher octane fuels. Might be worth asking the map provider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantt Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 I hope the map provider hasnt optimised to higher octane fuel without telling you, recipe for engine damage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
