What Ron Fuel do you use?

[R_LINE]

Interesting seeing the responses. I always stick to 98. I get better consumption when compared to 95. Also the fuel cap says recommend to use above 95. So 95 being minimum I choose to go higher beside my consumption point. I would like to know if the higher Ron Fuel maybe effect it in a negative way? Also... Are the fuel really what they state they are? Is 95 really 95 out of the nozzle? I read some stuff online about how the Ron is pretty much a guide. Unless someone has a lab an can test it then the myth can be busted... Keen to know your thoughts on these points.

I've only used 98 (mostly from 7-11, Caltex and BP) (Mk7 92TSI), and according to the computer, I'm getting 4.9l/100km (which matches my rough calcs)

I walked past someone the other night filling their Golf at the local Enhance - they have 98E10 (I'm assuming they were putting the 98 in not the 94E10). Kicking myself for not stopping to ask them how they found it.

Would the E10 bit possibly harm the engine (or make it not run so well)? Or does the 98 bit compensate?

Edit: and I calculated that I've saved $2000 or so in fuel compared to my old Territory!

If anything the 98 with ethanol will improve performance over normal 98.

It would pay to go on the site that tells you which engines are suited to Ethanol.

Our Polo 77TSI is NOT

Yeah, my MY16 Golf R and MY14 118TSI Tiguan are both listed as unsure with a disclaimer saying that VW/Skoda don't recommend running ethanol-blended fuels.

Park Fuels which seem to provide Enhance stations with fuel quote a premium 97 (with e10), or a Premium 98 (Drive) - no ethanol.
If the car requires 95 minimum the 97E10 will be fine (and better than base fuel 95), but if tuned for 98 I would not run this.
Like for like - Base fuel octane is better than Splash blending ethanol to meet required octane, i.e., Premium 98 is better than 98E10.
