Alan when I asked Gorden(Chief Test Driver) why they only put in 95RON he said the the car would run just as good on 95 as it would super unleaded, without any performance loss.

What Audi will run on 90 ron? My Octavia vRS, which has the same 180 bhp 1.8T as various Audi models, has a sticker under the fuel filler cap which states it should be run on 98 ron. It'll do quite happily on 95 ron, but will produce less power.
I run it on Tesco 99 ron SUL

Audi did stop using the 1.8T for quite sometime, but will again start using it has the engine has had a thorough once over and been dramatically enhanced up to audi class leading, innovation leading, superiority over all other manufacturers.

Learned a lesson tonight.
I hate to admit it however, with the price of super going north and, showing no signs of slowing, I filled up with 95 ron for the first time ( apart from the odd time in remote areas, then I'd use octane booster to suppliment it).
On the Dual Carriageway tonight, a Merc Sports Coupe was up my Bottie wanting to have some fun.
I obliged, spun the Turbo & off I went, it stayed with me, then It had a bit of hesitation, and I finally got rid of it. ( the Merc that is)
Now, I posted on here a couple of weeks ago about hesitation, it was because I had reoiled the Sports Filter & the MAF sensor picked up a bit of oil.
Cleaned it off and, noo hesitation at all.
This is the first time I've had a little bit of difficulty in losing one of these.
Back to Super tomorrow!!

Great debate over!
Filled up with V Power today and, on the Motorway late this Afternoon, Mr Clio Sport popped into my ashtray wanting to get even further into the motor.
When the outside lane cleared, off we went, kept up with me for a little bit then, Mr Turbo kicked in, with no hesitation whatsover, good distance between us.
I let him catch up a couple of times and, again kept up for a bit then away.
It was a Black Car, with some F1 transfers down the side, I noticed this as I left the Motorway at my Junction.
All good fun.
Now totally convinced, whatever Porsche does to run on 95, Mr Subaru neds 97 plus to bring out the best in him.

I've driven an imported classic on ordinary fuel for 2 years, since here in malta we don't have super unleaded. I never had any problems with the engine.
My guess is the ecu is smart enough to recognize the type of fuel, so to send the right signals to the engine.

Driving in Malta is like driving in a rally stage everyday, dealing with potholes, corners every 500m, narrow roads, hills, crazy traffic, tarmac/gravel...
That's why I chose a Scooby because it deals with these conditions, however there are no long straights to test out the top speed, but anyways Scoobies are made for acceleration!
