Please try and keep this thread on topic guys. This wasn't supposed to be a discussion/argument about the difference between the two fuel types. It was supposed to be somewhere we could collect useful information about the mapping differences.

Was just incase folk reading believe that running 95 correctly is going to cost them an engine,
I'm still trying to convince i need a Syvecs,
How many Litres of 95 would i have to burn through before it's paid for itself thats what i want to know.
20p a litre + for V-Power
£5 a tank (ishh)
So around 600 tanks or 120k miles if i can squeeze 200 miles out a tank of 95

listen to Bludgod...he actually maps cars.
never worry about the junk about how 95 is 'supposedly' made. i understand your reasoning for wanting it, and would do the same if in the same situation.
well, im sticking my neck out there and also agreeing the cheap fuel is less "cleaner" than the more expensive stuff ( by expensive i dont mean BP`s normal 95 ron lol ) im talking vpower type fuels.
My bike has been ran on cheap fuel most its life, the valve heads are filthy, carbon deposits galore.
My scoob has been ran on optimax/vpower for the last 11 yrs and the valves on it are spotless
Now, not a great comparison but its the only 1 i have from personal experience.
Does it make the bike run any poorer, nope. but.......
better to compare total timing to total timing rather than base to base - if it wasn't knocking at 40-44 degrees then you'll likely drop a small amount of MPG dropping to 36-38 degrees. Remember you can't control the closed loop AFR (unless you rescale the 0-1v output on your wideband ) so the ECU will always be looking for 14.7 AFR. All you can do is create a little peak in timing at your regular cruising spots and that should net you as much distance as possible from a tank.
