Default BP 89 and doing an expariment

I'm up to 422 miles per tank right now. That is with about a 70 / 30 split of highway and city driving and the DSG in 'D'. I'm running Revo S2 with boost at 1 (about stock), fuel at 9 and timing at 5. with these settings I've averaged about 40-50 extra miles per tank. Block 020 shows neglidgeable timing pull so next tank I'm going to bump timing to '6' and see if it makes any difference.

none of the turbo FSI cars have the lean burn anywhere in the world, only the NA version.

Default 100!? Anyone ever try?

I'm getting the APR chip soon and 100 octane is an option for one of the programs. Sure, 100 is about double the cost, but it might be fun once in a while at the track.

Anyone ever try 100?

Default I deleted my post, which means any under it will be deleted as well. Brain fade on my part.

Sorry.

Default I used a tank of track fuel once...don't remember the octane.

I wasn't chipped...didn't notice any difference.
