95 petrol

Hello,

As I understand 95 petrol also ok to use?

Thanks

From p.190 of the owner's manual:
"The use of super plus petrol (98 RON) is recommended. If that type of fuel is not available, premium petrol (95 RON) can be used with a slight loss of power."

It's a performance car, scrimping on fuel (unless you absolutely have to) is probably not a good idea over the long term.

I would base it on, this car is made to be sold world wide and in some countries which I will not say, might run these beast on camel piss I think you’ll be fine on UK 95RON

Have to agree with Skirs6; here is an old thread where there was much debate…

I tried it by mistake. My RS6 C5 popped banged and farted something terrible with a big drop off in power above 3/4 throttle on 95 ron (put a couple of gallons of it in by mistake refuelling on an empty tank). A quick pit stop back to the station to brim the tank with 99 super unleaded e5 and all was well again. To be honest I was surprised by just how bad the 95 ron e10 was and so i'll be a bit more careful on which of the two petrol pump dispensers I lift in the future.. i'm not even sure I would want to feed the e10 to my lawnmower after that experience.

I'm the same as far as petrol grades go, up my way (West Coast Scotland).. E5 is about it for my area, loads of E10 pumps everywhere, the odd E5. Pretty sure most of the Scottish guys would tell you the same story..

Usually limited to one pump on a typical forecourt and if you drive to an unfamiliar station it's a case of hovering about looking for pump markings, done it today and had to back up and stretch hose right over car.

I've never put E10 in thankfully...

I put now only 98 v power in shell stations I also understand that it’s not harm if you put 102 octane?
