Over here the 2CV only has 95 but the fiat always has 98 (until I had it six years ago it had only ever run on leaded 4* (half a tank full a year!). The merc. usually has 95 but occasionally (if I have an extra shell points voucher) put in 98. I always use 95 ron even on now turbo engine - E10 is around but most garages sell 95 ron.... Never had a problem, with standard ignition, 123 or 1-2 spark... Never driven Dyane in UK so do not know the difference....

Re: Super unleaded vs regular An observation....
The odour/smell of UK fuel compared to Continental fuel is like chalk and cheese.

Re: Super unleaded vs regular  +1 - it does smell much more "volatile" even their diesel smells sweeter too....

Re: Super unleaded vs regular It does, however, taste just as bad as British fuel.

Re: Super unleaded vs regular Usually 3 cents - I did use 98ron when Dyane had original 9:1 pistons but been seeing the gap getting bigger but yesterday was a shock. Will keep an eye open when snows go at the other super markets...Maybe just a spike
