Fuel choice
« on: 02 February 2019, 10:33 »
Some interesting comments in another thread got me wondering what people here feed their GTI.

Widely debated for many years, the normal v Super debate will rage-on for many more until we’re all using electric and then I’m sure the truth will come out. But until then everybody has their preference, so what’s yours?

There's not much that is actually 98 Esso and BP higher octane fuels are RON97. Shell, Tesco Momentum and Costco Premium are RON99.

V-Power in the UK has always been 99RON, its predecessor Optimax was rated at 98RON, but that was killed off years ago.
