What RON?
 

I'm thinking of buying a classic wrx import N reg, but want to know what I can safely fill it up with. Is it safe to only use Super unleaded/Optimax/V power Tesco super etc or will I need an Octane booster too? Also how much of that would I add and how much is it?

Cheers

Personally I only use a 99 RON from Tesco or Shell.

A 1996/97 will be fine with this.

I recall someone saying on here that Japan didn't get 100 RON Fuel untill the late 90's (98ish I think). So you should be ok without a remap using Super i.e. Tesco 99 or V Power

Why does our Tesco petrol station only do 97 and what is Shell's ron??:wonder:

At Tesco some do 99 and some 97. When we were in Stoke I had one Tesco selling 97 and 2 miles down the road they sold 99, who knows why!!

Shell V-Power is all 99 RON wherever you get it..

Shell V Power is 99RON. Only selected Tesco sites stock its 99RON juice.

That will have been me, probably under a different user-name though. A 1996 car should run perfectly well on Shell or Tesco 99RON fuel, as long as its standard and in good order.

average of 98.6 ron i believe. thats a minimum too,, and my car runs much smoother on shell than anything else.:notworthy

I believe that average was quoted for Optimax and not V Power, so V Power could potentially be higher.

stand corrected. im sure shell have the answer.:D
