I've been using this in my Macan S for ages with zero problems, its cheaper than BP and Shell. Their normal Unleaded is 95 ron, surely 2 ron can hardly make much difference, can it? Its a lot cheaper and says does have cleaning additive, but not 'performance additives'.

Am I being fooled??

The subject of what fuel to put in your Macan has been "done to death" long before you joined the forum. Hopefully your post will not start a rerun. I choose to run mine on Esso Supreme but as I've only ever used Shell V Power as an alternative when I couldn't find an Esso garage I can really comment as to whether you're fooling yourself.

Enough.

It depends upon the Engine, it is a case of RTFM.

Is that indicating that the S doesn't use petrol at all? Not my experience!
RTFM trips up again :D
