Hi guys,
Just wondering if anyone has 1st hand experience with the performance of this motor using both fuels?
As it is tuned for 95 can you notice any difference using 98
Thanks.

Interesting question you raise here - other TBSTi owners might respond to this, but my TBSTi has the sticker in the fuel filler door saying it needs 98. Is this purely a TunedBy STi requirement ? That extra 10kw must be pushing it hard
Sorry, don't want to steal your thread - my point is that any tuning looks like it might need 98RON.

I wouldn’t touch 95 Ron.. Even with a commodore.. If you do a quick search there are a few treads on here about 98 V’s 95 Ron and the general consensus is 98 all the way..
98 burns cleaner, more power & better fuel economy...

Only run 98 on MY07 and wouldn't even consider using 95

did it once, cause i was stuck out the back of oberon, and servos out there close early......... it felt like i was driving in I mode the whole time, lacks the kick i am use too.
i would only use it if i had nothing else too get..........

Thanks for the responses guys.
Mines not an STI, and has a 'use 95' on the filler, but I think I will stick to 98 anyway. Sounds like nothing to lose (apart from a few bucks a tank) and should be some gains in performance/mileage.
Cheers.
