    it does say on the fuel cap that 98 ron is recommended, and min is 95 ron.
    that's because it's the newer TSI engine.
    with the older TFSI engines, only 98 was recommended.

    nevertheless, i only put 98.

    95 RON is premium, until I got the Skoda in 2008, the only 98 around was BP and Shell, Caltex was only just putting in Vortex 98 and Mobil much the same. They all had 95...which is still premium.
