and no I don't mean petrol or diesel,
I mean that I got this car a week ago and coming from a thirsty 1.8 insignia without thought I loaded it up with Sainsbury's cheapest fuel and it doesn't quite feel as strong as when I first picked it up with that tank of gas from the dealer.

I have already looked in the manual, fuel filler cap and online for any suggestion but found nothing.

Any suggestions for what grade of fuel I should be using? worried about screwing up the turbo

It'll run fine on 95 supermarket fuel.

You can use premium fuel if you want, it may make the car run slightly better but you dont need to use it.

I have an astra J 2.0 CDTi and i used tesco cheap fuel in it for a while. It went into limp mode one day and i took it into the garage and the first thing he said to me without even looking at the car was "Have you been using supermarket fuel?" i said yes and he told me to stop using supermarket fuel and it'll be fine. Hey ho he was right. Not a blip since. So I would say use garages not supermarkets but still just use the standard 95 octane.
