Hey mate - yes is an interesting question going forward for the ICE engined cars. Ethanol mix ratios (from a bio source i am guessing) and the future introduction of synthetic fuels I expect in the next few years. I have not run my Octavia on 'mix fuel' yet but imagine that it can handle it.

Checking around it seems NZ uses the RON system so 95 is 95 I guess. Do you know if Mk3 Octavia can use E98 with 10% Bioethanol?

Yes it even says it on inside of petrol flap. Going fine now on 95!

Thanks for that.😉

Hey guys-I have just acquired a 2016 Octavia VRS and on my way home filled with 91 Octane. Only then noticed that requires 95 (or higher?). Will this cause probs in the long term (using 91 v 95).

Hey there-I have just purchased a 2016 Octavia VRS and was recommended to this forum by a brother in Ireland who owned a 2002 VRS for several years and used this site. I live in NZ and am already looking for advice on fuel RON type as I put 91 into car, and recommends 95!
