What RON fuel do you run in each of your cars?

[brad]

I use 98ron.

I'm not sure that an enthusiast forum is a fair representation of the general public......

My fathers last 2 cars were supposed to be PULP but he continues to put ULP in them (but is strangely scared of e10).

My sister runs ULP in her Accord Euro. She is about to take delivery of an EOS 2.0TSI & I can almost guarantee that she'll run ULP in that too.

My FIL runs ULP in his Camry too.

Aussies are tight-arses when it comes to fuel.

I use 98Ron exclusively in the Tig as it's running the APR map.

My parents use 91Ron their petrol cars and normal diesel in the 4x4.

I run 95 in my Bora (its not tuned to anything other than stock factory tune, which is 91/95 mapped anyway) and standard diesel in my Golf.

VWW is an enthusiast forum, sure, but there are tonnes of Mk1/2/3 and it is those cars that would run a mix of e10, 91 and 95.

only 98 for my mk3

But yes probably not going to get very fair results as brad said, being a forum for people semi-obsessed with there cars

[Dyldo]

is the mk3 tuned for 98? My understanding is that if a car that runs perfectly well on 91 or even 95 does not receive any bonus at all for running 98.

[Ben J]

well its a vr6, the fuel cap says to use 95 or something, and idk if thats meant to be 95 in uk standards or what, eitherway 98 seems to make it happy

Your probably right and it makes little/no difference, but that further goes to show that on here your just going to find a load of vw crazed people who will only want to give there cars the best, unlike someone who just sees there car as a way for a -> b

I currently run 98RON in my Bora V6 4Motion, but am considering trialling 95RON for a while to see if I lose the black tailpipes I have currently.

Most chips/tunes specify 98RON I believe (and the tunes make use of the extra octane level by running increased timing). I know the CC tune for my car requires 98RON (so I'll be back on it regardless once I finally get the car tuned).

My other car is a 2005 Subaru Outback, that gets a diet of 91RON (and since Subaru said E10 was OK, often gets E10). It's my wife's daily drive, she's not what you'd call a car person, so fuel for it is bought on price. I'll occasionally run some 98RON through it to give it a bit of a clean-out (BP Ultimate for instance has cleaning compounds in it, as does Shell V-Power).

98 in the vr6
