In the states it saw premium which is 95, but you'll prob get quite a few more ponies on 99 considering the compression ratio of the engineSpeedymurr said:Tesco's best for me - whatever is cheapest.
My last car stated unleaded or super unleaded. I always put in unleaded as it's cheaper and the car still drove okay.

The fuel ratings are in anti knock index (aki) in the us. They say up a min of aki 91 which Ron95. Aki95 is more like Ron100. Aki 93 which is rare as nats teeth in the us, is about Ron98Kodename47 said:GT86Owner said:In the states it saw premium which is 95, but you'll prob get quite a few more ponies on 99 considering the compression ratio of the engineSpeedymurr said:Tesco's best for me - whatever is cheapest.

Oh, and the Stateside fuel is rated a bit different. I believe their 95 is the equivalent to our 98/99 RON. 93 is the same as our normal unleaded. It's because theirs isn't rated in RON.... although off the top of my head I can't remember what it is![]()

People spend loads of dosh on stuff to make their car quicker where as with most modern cars the easiest way is to fill it up with the best fuel it can make a real marked difference!
In my Subaru Impreza it makes a real noticable difference to run 99 instead of 95.

I think k20s lose about 5% power so would expect the same of word considering the compression rationKodename47 said:sovietspybob said:I'd be using either V-Power or Tesco 99 if it was me.

It won't be so noticable in an N/A car. In a boosted car the knock sensor will be able to advice the timing more with decent fuel and produce more power. If a N/A car is designed to use 98 and you put 95, you will lose a small amount. Don't quite expect the same as the Impreza!
