RON95 or RON98??
Do you get better milleage from RON98? Better response and power??
No difference in power. 0.7L/100km better fuel consumption when using Vortex98 over Vpower.
95 octane feels more powerful but rougher.
BP Ultimate, Mobil 8000 and Vortex98 for smoothness.
I usually use Caltex too...
In my previous civic, tried using Unleaded 92 and vortex 98, but didnt really find any difference.... test using 3 full tanks, consumption and power seems the same, so went back to cheap fuel....
So which one you recomend? 95 or 98?
Check the euro Fuel Consumption thread, plenty of good info in there:

I use 98RON most of the time, specifically BP Ultimate or Caltex 98RON
There is another fuel thread also, but its kind of old already, and I suppose many things had change already, new fuel and addictives, etc....

No difference between the two, although I found 98 to be smoother. But the extra mileage I get for 98 makes it worth the extra cost.Quote:

Use Caltex Vortex98. That was the one that I found gave the best fuel consumption.

I've filled up twice so far on my new euro.. and I find BP Ultimate doing really good! 8.5L/100kms consumption thats city and highway driving :) very happy :D
according to the "i" display on my tacho, i should get around 720kms out of this full tank :D alot better than the Type S!! LOL!
Wait until the engine runs in properly, you'll get even better consumption ftw
the good thing about the K24A is that it has decent torque down low (thanks to VTC I imagine), so u can use a higher gear and dont need to keep the revs high.
