Seat Leon 1.6 Fuel - Tim Roberts
Picked up my new (8 month old) Seat Leon 1.6 this week and filled it up for the first time this morning. The inside of the petrol cap says use 98RON super plus unleaded. I thought this was only necessary in seriously high performance engines?
The car has been running great on the normal unleaded the dealership stuck in it when I test drove it.

Are there any long term effects of not using 98 RON?

There's something wrong there. I seriously doubt the VW 1.6 engine needs 98RON. Just stick to the normal stuff.
