Fuel RON

[amolak]

Hi, The user manual for my S500 yr2000 says to use Unleaded RON 95.
Is that standard unleaded, or premium ie BP Ultimate etc..

Seem to get conflicting info on the web some say standard unleaded is 91 RON others state 95.

Thanks

91 I think is the USA standard Unleaded 95 is UK standard

normal UK unleaded - called Premium - is 95 Ron (nobody near me stocks Regular 91 Ron).

UK Super unleaded varies widely from 97-102 RON - e.g. Shell & BP do 102 Ron and Tesco do 99.

95 RON would only be an issue if you're outside of the UK, as suggested US use 91 RON. Here in the UK bog standard unleaded is all you need.
