95 ron and running fine?
Discussion
Anybody tried running on premium unleaded 95 ron?
I was really low on petrol on the A1 outside Edinburgh. Being a visitor to the area I had no idea when I would next come accross a petrol station, never mind one that sold Super. Consequently, I had to gamble with standard unleaded, to be on the safe side I just put £15 in to get me to Newcastle and time to find some super.
The car ran fine. No apparant power loss or misfiring. I ended up filling the tank with standard unleaded and drove 250 miles on it with no problems.
The question is, do I carry on with the cheaper stuff or stop before I do some damage. Anybody know what the consequences are of running on 95 ron?
