do you know where you can get 98RON? i think bp ultimate is 97, and vpower is 99Pretty sure the engine is designed to be run on a minimum of 95. Doubt they would design it so it was only good for 97 or above.

Please Please Please stop using supermaket 95ron fuel in the Cupra!!!
Minimum fuel quality should always be 97ron these high compression direct injection engines don't fair well on poor fuel quality it doe smore harm than good even if you driving like Mrs Daisy
That is seriously impressive. - Are the road flat where you are?On my boring commute this morning I managed 47mpg!! 60/50 and 30 roads, the coasting feature seems to up the mpg a fair bit. Only done 250 miles!
Do you still get driving modes on a tuned car? I wondered if it were possible just to get the CUPRA mode tuned. Be nice to be able to turn these things on an off.Just to add into the Mix I am running a Stage 3 tune on the engine / dsg and I can still get 38mpg going from Hull to Blackpool on the motorway, On the Track the best i got has been 11 mpg but I am trying to beat that.
Fuel consumption in my case is very much about the right foot and driving style
Why do you need 98?
How does coasting improve fuel economy? I was always under the impression that in a "normal" car when not accelerating (ie slowing down for a junction or going downhill) the engine management shut off fuel going to the engine. My last car was an insignia and when slowing down or going downhill the fuel usage showed 99.9mpg and on my Astra it showed 0.
That's not coasting though is it? Coasting means the flywheel is disengaged, e.g, like pushing the clutch in in a manual.Modern engines as you say shut off fuel so when you let off the accelerator, the wheels drive the engine so and no fuel is used at all, but there is still a lot of energy used to turn the engine, when costing in Neutral, there is less friction thus the car rolls further and modern cars use so little fuel when idling now anyway so it could actually be better than coasting in gear as you can potentially roll much further.
For what its worth, I’ve achieved 58MPG in a 1.8 Polo GTI over 45 miles from cold which is ridiculous frankly, this was nearly all motorway and coasting in gear when I can
Worn piston crowns? Do you mean detonation damage? If so, why didn't the ECU detect and prevent it?Engines are damaged as the poor fuel quality is blocking the DI filter baskets and thus running the engine lean and causing accelerated engine wear, the cases on the EA888 gen3 aren’t as bad as the previous generation
But I’ve now seen two EA888 engines with excess oil usage and worn piston crowns due to poor fuel and people running injector cleaner
No. It is still using fuel in neutral, no matter how far you roll. The display will show you in litres per hour how much it uses.Modern engines as you say shut off fuel so when you let off the accelerator, the wheels drive the engine so and no fuel is used at all, but there is still a lot of energy used to turn the engine, when costing in Neutral, there is less friction thus the car rolls further and modern cars use so little fuel when idling now anyway so it could actually be better than coasting in gear as you can potentially roll much further.

my manual says that is what is recommendedWhy do you need 98?
Yes same as me. - I find it annoying too.That's not coasting though is it? Coasting means the flywheel is disengaged, e.g, like pushing the clutch in in a manual.
The advantage as I see it is it reduces friction and you don't get engine braking and thus get more speed downhill for free.
Some annoying things though is that if you break it reengages the gear and won't coast until you accelerate again, annoying when following someone downhill whom is engine braking.
Or when I start my car I need to switch from and to individual mode in order for E gear to show, otherwise it's in D even though it's set to ECO. (I assume everyone sees this and I don't have a problem?)

I don't see how the engine can run lean when it's controlled by the O2 sensor. Eventually the ECU must go into limp mode, or stop.
