I use also Shell and 98 ron.I have noticed a difference in top speed and performance.The top speed was up by 7km/h with 98 instead of 95 which is the lowest ron here in Finland.

Neste 98ron or Shell 98ron.
Tests say that these are the best quality fuels available here, Neste Oil's being marginally better. Both are also a little more expensive than the other brands. |

Gas is Gas dont let the oil companies fool you. Take a look at the gas truck when it refills the gas station one hose and one tank!!!!! HMMMMMMM things that make you go hmmmmm. Also I dont see a Octance Detergent Gas truck comming in either hmmmm. All they do is push a button to charge you the different prices lol. Ask the Attendant and he will always say one hose one tank. Anyways I use what ever has the better deal on the pumps all between $3.19 the cheapest Ive seen in the area to $3.39.
