The free Brochures you can get from any dealers showroom. I quoted from the 2009 brochure but exactly the same info is in my 2006 brochure, which I still have.

It does indeed say it. To quote it exactly it says - "Thanks to the knock control, unleaded fourstar(at least 95 RON) can be used instead of unleaded Superplus. In order to achieve maximum fuel consumption benefits on the FSI engine,Ultra Low SulphurPetrol (ULSP) must be used."

The GTD is like a blow up doll. The GTI is like a proper woman. Sure the doll might last longer, and the woman might have higher running costs, but which would you rather have?

My '08 has a big 95 sticker on the flap.  Perhaps the car was improved over the years (I'm assuming those with 98 stickers are old cars)

Its the wrong sticker, someone (TT) did a check on the part number of the sticker and found that it referred to a different car!

As said, 1000000 times, it is perfectly OK and safe and not a problem in the slightest to use 95.  No problems.

BUT

The car has been optimised to run on 98.  Using 98 gives the best (and in fact the official stated) performace and fuel economy figures.  There are many places where 98 is not available so of course VW are going to give people the option - they would have a very limited market if they didn't!
