Hi, I'd advise trying the search as there are dozens of topic on what fuel to use.

This probably covers it:

The fuel cap is correct, as is the owners manual.

I run mine exclusively on Shell V-power. I'd only use something like 95 RON if I absolutely had no other choice. I think the car feels faster through the ass dyno with better quality fuel

I'm mapped on vpower and the bike only uses vpower so i use vpower, imo it's one of the best fuels readily available.

I also get free fuel vouchers through the post from shell, so it's all good.

V Power or Tesco momentum99, if I have to use 95 I have a bottle of Millers octane boost in the boot.

do not put cheap petrol as it affects car's performance significantly. After all with the gas prices plummeting (I've recently topped up last week V-Power from shell at a staggering 1,22!! - I live in Herts) there is not reason to cut corners petrol wise!

I never paid any attention to what fuel I put in in the first 8 years of ownership before joining the forums. Now I usually use Tesco Momentum or VPower but to fair, don't notice any difference really.
