Cupra 290 Fuel type

[FOX1429]

Can't argue with that, the extra on fuel is peace of mind for me as i do like to put my foot down , i don't necessarily believe it makes much difference though. It's also one less take away a month (in theory) and that's certainly something i need after spending half of this year sat on my a**e working from home!

???

I appreciate what your saying, I asked the question and will listen to all the answers, I was merely asking what people do, as my new cupra says 98 but 95 is acceptable, I dint know if I ran it on 95 whether I’d see any difference?
I’ve only had the car a couple of weeks and only done 350 miles!!

I’d say if you bought it to use the power it has ( most likely or you’d have an FR )then 99 fuel is the way to go.
Proven to get the most out of the engines.
While keeping it happy too.

how about fuel flap stating only min 95 & nothing else? anyone can advice?

I haven’t seen that, mine says 98 in bold and 95 in slightly smaller text, I’m assuming 98 will give max output and figures,

It’s fine on 95.
Only need 98 for the big engined versions. 290 etc.

I run my R ST on Tesco 99, can get 40mpg on a good run.

95RON E10 is perfectly fine ( at least here in Germany is pretty good).

Getting a better fuel will help to get better timings , so more power but it will not damage the engine. The SIMOS ECU is capable to keep safe the car pulling less boost and timing if the fuel is not good at all.
In the worst case you will get less power.

Hope it helps
