Fuel Issue
Fuel Issue
Hi guys,
Probably been asked before but I'm in a mad rush. Had my C7 almost two years and I've only used V-Power to fill up. I'm concerned now that I won't be able to get any with the tanker driver shortages and I don't have enough in the tank to go searching around. What is the minimum grade (RON) I can safely use without causing any issues please?
Thanks in advance.

Re: Fuel Issue
Absolutely fine. Have a look on the inside of your fuel filler. It says 95ron minimum which is normal unleaded. Just go back to super unleaded at the next opportunity
Re: Fuel Issue
Thanks guys, I thought 98/99 but it does say 95 minimum on the fuel cap. Absolutely no fuel available anywhere near me at the moment though so I'm stuck at home with the Mrs.

Re: Fuel Issue
Just to confirm guys,
My warranty wouldn't be invalid if I use 95 RON as it states it's the minimum requirement in the filler cap?

Re: Fuel Issue
You could always put normal unleaded in with an octane booster if you are worried about it
Re: Fuel Issue
Managed to get to station with Esso Supreme + 99 RON so got £35.00. Relieved.
I do wonder if they changed the rule to let you fill up to max it would ease the panic a bit?
Cheers all, much appreciated as always.
