so technically your gti was $23,3 OTD
I suppose you could look at it this way. Or $23.6 plus a key. :iono:
I like my math better since a 2nd key should have always been there

Oh, and I also got a tank of 93 out of the :dill: ! When Logan was going to gas it up for me he said, "By the way, this thing takes 93, right?" I quickly said, "Yup"!
:hue:

Now, he still may have put in 87, but I prefer to think that I got 93. :lol:

But I still wrote the check for $23.6. What you should be thinking is the :dillerman: got $23.3 out of the :dill:

Oh I plan on it.
Actually, what I want to do is run a few tanks on 87 then run 1 on 93 to see if I notice much of a difference either in butt-dyno, or in MPG'z.
Then, after :science: is satisfied I'll go back to 87.

engine will pull timing, you won't get peak HP/TQ however it's barely noticeable in daily driving.

I know with the ECU does, I'm just interested to see if I feel it or see a difference in MPG.

I've been getting decent MPG's. Premium is almost $0.75-1 more over regular here in some areas.

It would probably take more than one tank for the ECU to fully adjust for the 93

For sure. Hell, I remember my Scirocco 16V routinely got upper 30's per tank before the days of E10. Then once it became mandatory the mileage dropped to low 30's. I managed to find E free gas a couple years ago in upstate Wisconsin and saw an immediate improvement of almost 15% in my :turboyaris: , iirc.

Interesting, I found the nearest one right by West VA. Contemplating on going to a drive there once I get back, given things will not exactly be back to normal I presume.

Yea, try a tankful of 0 ethanol. You'll love the extra range.
