tesco 99 ron will be fine IMO. my 93wrx gives better mpg with tesco 99 compared to v power.

I use either V power or Tesco 99 just depends which direction I am travelling as to which I use. You can get away with using any of the super unleaded fuels as they are 97 Ron just don't push it to the absolute limit.
