2.0 T FSI - Which Fuel ?

[S-Line_Wales]

When I picked the car up on Monday, I asked the sales rep whether I should use normal 95 ron or use Super Unleaded (98-100 ron) depending on where you get it, and he told me to stick to 95 ron, however on reading the handbook it advises to use 95 ron only if 98 is not available as it will cause a dip in power..so what do you guys use ? and why ?

I run super-unleaded. Its burns cleaner and there is a slight diff in performance. Not much that you can really notice, just the pick up is slightly better.

Do you use Tesco or Shell or what ? I never really found a difference when using 98 ron in the 325i..

I use BP Ultimate or Shell V-Power if I cant get Ultimate.
