Hi all ordered company R Monday due to be delivered next Friday . Reading the vw brochure it specifies 98 Ron . How has everyone got on finding the good stuff as my local sainsburys super unleaded is 97 ?

When my R arrives il be using shell v-power, it's further to go for dearer fuel but it recommends 98 so that's what il use. Bloke at garage says it will run on 95 but if any car deserves better fuel this is it. Il get a full tank when collect car so it may not have 98 for first tank but after that it will.

Mine arrived with a quarter tank....I'm on my second full tank of Shell V-Power Nitro+ now :)

I've paid for delivery pack A, so that's why mine will come with full tank. Atleast that's what agreed anyway.

When you collected your car did you get anything from dealership ?

I don't understand how cars are delivered with anything less than a full tank.
I've never heard of it here, nor would I accept delivery of a new car without a full tank.
That would be akin to delivering it with only half the required oil in it IMO.

He actually did pretty well getting half tank, sometimes you just get enough fuel to get you to petrol station. To me it's wrong when you buy a car that you have the expense of filling tank but unfortunately that is way it is.

97 and 98 won't make much of a difference so don't stress out if there aren't 98s around when you are a low on gas. But if there is 98, yeah go for that one.
