super unleaded only?!?!

[xxxic3xxx]

i just went to tesco to fill up and ive only had the car a month and realised on the inside of the petrol cap it says super unleaded only?

is this true and will it do harm if i use normal unleaded?

ive put 2 tanks of normal unleaded in now and ive realised on the third... its a 1.4 16v w reg clio etoile if any one needs to know, soooo, is it right?

Strange that it says that on the petrol cap of a 1.4.


Regular 95 RON is perfectly fine.

 

[V1NNY]

it can run on lower than that

Unleaded Fuel only my dear.

Is the the super bit not part of the other language?

 

[xxxic3xxx]

thanks

 

[Beef-Mc]

No bother,better safe than sorry

I use both in my 182.

 

[Johnnytheboy]

I'm sad and only use V Power or Tesco 99.

 

[Fletcher]

I only ever use high octane fuels like V-power BP ultimate.

 

[simonwwfc]

Tesco 99 for me

 

[john lloyd]

yeah but the 182 should be on the higher octane the 1.4 16v is mapped for std unleaded, the super word in the sticker is part of the other language, possibley a country that runs very low ron std unleaded and so the clio needs that countrys super unleaded to vring it upto std levels?

basically stick with the std unleaded fuel thats the correct one for your car.

 

[lewisniven]

only ever used v-power in my cup, the same will be true of the willy.

 

[Neil G]

Always use Super (97 ron) fuel

Using BP ultimate in the NA Clio is a waste of money

 

[Johnnytheboy]

As the sticker on my fuel cap says: "98 RON recommanded (sic)"

 

[SBV116]

V power only for me in the cup!

 

[Fred@BTM]

doesn't matter

not in a 1.4 - When we went to Denmark though, we soon found out that their normal unleaded is actually 93, their "super" is 95. It did not run well on normal Denmark unleaded! you really could tell a massive difference

even in a 182 there isnt much difference 95/98 ron, although I use the high octanes from various garages, unless they don't have it

 

[pinky]

its best to use higher octane in newer cars, it maybe a bit more expensive but if you use
it reg then you get more miles to the gallon, or have i been watching to much telly!

Bleifreies Super is German plain for old unleaded.

 

[JMR]

^^^ what he said.

In Germany you used to be able [might still be able?] to get 91 RON. The bleifreies [lead-free] super is 95 RON.

 

[Johnnytheboy]

When I went travelling to Algeria about 15 years ago, I seem to remember regular was 87 octane and super was 92, both about 12p a litre, both of which our 2.25L Landie ran quite happily on.

Wished we'd taken a diesel as that was 3 PENCE A LITRE!!!

 

[Josh@Renparts]

run standard... all the above comments are correct, the octane of standard fuel in this country is correct, its just some countries standard is very low octane so you need super...
