Petrol?
« on: 10 September 2017, 22:46 »
95 or 98 RON?

Does it make much difference?

Depends who you ask.
The GTI was designed to run on 95
The Edition 35 has the older engine and can run on 95 but 98 is what it was setup for.

Carried out a fair while ago but this video may answer your question about octane ratings. I tend to also look at additives as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTaBngvsPrc
