Fuel question

Either way it's not going to be any worse for it. My old Ford laser 1.5 carby, made better mileage on 98 to the point where it was actually cheaper for me to run it on the more expensive fuel as the consumption was better.

Depends on what the cars tuned to run on. The same principals apply from injected to carbed motors just that an injected motor will adjust its own fueling and ignition timing to suit the fuel, where as on a carbed motor you get a screwdriver and a spanner and adjust it yourself.

Kind of. If you run 91 in a car tuned for 95 stock it doesnt exactly adjust timing/fuel it just pulls chunks out so its safe and ends up costing you more $ than running 95. Tried it in another life.

I run 98 in my Avenger, current fuel stats are off due to a stuck Exhaust Valve (makes a cute whistling sound)

rule of thumb I use is the better fuel you use the bigger bang you get for your dollar, meaning less energy required to move along

which is why some people get better "mileage/KM per Liter" out of 98 than 95 on NA 2.0's etc

only way to really find out is track your tanks over 3-5 consecutive tanks of each type of fuel

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
