v-power if you can get it, however it's not available everywhere so any SUL (which should have a minimum 97 RON rating) should be fine.

If the engine is not the original one then I suggest speaking to the person who mapped the ECU. They will have mapped it for a certain RON rated fuel, whether this be 95, 97 or 99.

DO NOT just put in any fuel thinking it will be fine, put in what the car was mapped for!

You could also speak to Paul at Zen Performance about a Syvecs (Solaris) ecu which will allow you to run maps for V-Power and normal unleaded should you get stuck in finding a Shell garage, in addition to these two you can have a further 6 maps which could be Meth, different boost etc all at a finger tip via a calibration switch!
