Post by: hardhat on November 15, 2012, 07:48:32 pm

 Hi all, a quick question please, I`m picking up my car on sat morning, and was just wondering, whats the best fuel? My car is stock, is it worth the extra expence of higher Ron?
 Thanks in advance...

Use "Search" my friend,  covered loads on here, the fuel question.

FWIW I say use V-Power, only a couple of quid more for a full tank so a no brainer. Look on the inside of your fuel cap, says 98 RON IIRC.

^^^^ My car is Stage 1 tuned and i was advised its best to use V-Power or similar 99RON but I have always used it, even when my car was in standard form. Only problem you have asking this question is it will just start an old debate with no definitive answer at the end but as the price difference is so small it seems odd to me not to use 99RON.
