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.

Whether they 'give' it away or not, you will always pay for it ;) I rather put my own in to ensure that I've got the good stuff in there opposed to the 95RON from the local supermarket..

They will never give it away I just got deal on that package, I can live with a tank of lower grade just so I don't have to fork out soon as I get car.

98 RON

Here is the reply I received from VW about a month ago when I asked about fuel for the R -

I was delighted to read you have purchased a Golf R. I can advise I have spoken with our Technical Support Team who has
confirmed the recommended minimum octane for your new Golf R is 98 RON. They would not recommend using a lower octane than what
has been advised by the factory.

They have advised if a lower octane fuel is used this will result in lower engine power output and may also produce engine
running or mechanical problems. If by using 97 or 95 RON fuel in your Golf R and this causes any consequential damage, your
vehicle's warranty will be affected.
