why does it say ron 98 recommended on the inside of the filler cap? is it not good to run them on normall fuel.

 

[Daniel]

They run fine on normal fuel mate.

i run mine on both id say its a bit smoother on 98 ron but there isnt much in it tbh

 

[the_prophet]

mine idles like sh1t and doesnt run well on normal, v-power seems better in mine that 99 tesco aswell.

loads of threads where people have said it doesnt make a difference, it does in mine.

Indeed, when i first got mine a few year back i tried normal and even some 99 ron fuel from the likes of Tescos but since only go for Ultima or V-Power (preferably this if i can find a shell)!

Car sounds ropey on anything but and it also gives a lesser mpg.

makes a differance on mine, havnt used anything but 99ron for a year or so now.

mine runs better on higher ron'age but i put both in. tesco 99 makes it run like s**t but makes the decat bang so that's my preferred choice atm.

I've always ran V-power, i'll never run 95 unless I 'have' to.

Same here.. mine wasnt overly happy on 95..

always best to go for 98 where poss..

Smart answer...because Renault recommend you use this fuel as it's better for the engine.

Less smart answer...they do run better on this fuel, imo. Not faster but a bit smoother, less lumpy. Probably cleaner too.
