I've run my MY99 on UL, SUL and Optimax. It seems to prefer the stronger stuff but it ran OK on 95 ron. Only use SUL or Optimax these days.

Agree with Andy. I have an UK MY97 with de-cat only now, and would only use super/optimax. Would only use normal unleaded if stuck without the choice of the others.

And then I would still drive it without going too silly.

UKcars are designed to run on 95

But we all know they all run better on Super or Optimax. Especially when you start decatting and such like and the power goes up. Look after your car and put in the highest octane available. For me this is SuperUnleaded... (nowhere near a shell)
