If it isnt mapped to run on that fuel then it really isnt needed.

with the head skim it can increase c/r slightly, thats probably why youve been told to go for a higher octane to reduce the risk of pre ignition

i think it's mainly in the users head.
unless it's mapped for the good stuff.
you'll be fine on regular.

Yeah, it doesn't smooth out the revs, when you've got super.

I've been driving for over 10 years, and had all manner of petrol cars, so I can tell if I've had to put normal petrol in.

Ive been testing this in the megane. I noticed when it was mega cold last month, it ran a hell of a alot smoother on 99. Tick over was lower rpm when cold, quieter etc. As for speed/power, i dont know.

Octane plug, my '90 engine's got one as well. Doesn't make much difference when you change it anyway.
