Just about to take delivery of a 45 TFSIe. Which fuel to use? Is there any benefit to using 98 RON with this car, with either fuel consumption or power?
I'm very interested to hear of other owner's experience with this.
 
I guess it would say 95 on the fuel flap, so use 95 mostly. Once in a while u can use 97 or 99 (no 98 in UK) just to clean things up inside. You might get 2-3 mpg more, but my experience it won't offset extra costs. Saying that over 20 miles journey on a 30 tfsi Mhev I did 71 mpg on E10 95 Ron from shell. Yes it was free flowing traffic doing 30-50 mph but still!
