Does anyone use 95 RON? If so, how does the car run?....i dont want to either but the costs are becoming insane up here.
Your car wont run aswell, wont run badly though.  You may see a slight drop in performance and lower MPG as lower RON means the FSI part of the engine isnt running at its best.

It will run fine, but you won't get the best performance or economy from it. If you look in you fuel flap it recommends superunleaded

Its a performance car so stick in the good stuff  :cool:
Its the car I've seen the biggest difference between 95/97 and 99 fuels , 99 really is soo different.
Turn your air con off and thatll make up the diff between the costs ;-)

although thatll be lost as soon as you hoon it

using 95 ron fuel will be counterproductive as you'll get less mpg and hp compared with 98 ron.

I'm still using V-Power.
