Default Which Petrol

just had a quick search fellas and couldn't find anything although it is very early and slightly tired haha, but one or two lads on here have mentioned 95 ron is ok for the SRT, I have just bought it yesterday and was under the impression I could only use Tesco momentum or shell nitro petrol, what is the general concensus, cheers fellas

US Owner's manual says
"high quality unleaded gasoline having an octane rating of 91 or higher."

However this is for Pump Octane Number (R+M/2). In general this is 4 points lower than Research alone so 95 should be fine.

OTOH boosted engines tend to like higher octanes so it is up to you.

I usually fill at the 1/2 mark and have been alternating 93 and 89. It seems happy. If not I have some "octane improver" that should add about 8/10s of a point.

Your gas is cheaper than ours and I alternate between 91 and 94. I can't feel any difference though, but I don't care.
Spend it when you got it, money is only a problem when you do not have any.
