In case anyone is interested …
I bought the Suzuki on 21-August, and Yes RON 95 Petrol is specified.
The instruments predicted a remaining Range of 25 miles, so I added £40 of BP regular unleaded E10 and drove it home from Sheffield to North Wales, and have since driven it on local trips … everything seems fine, given that it is a 10year old 4×4 with a 4-cylinder engine.
Yesterday, the Low-Fuel warning ‘chimed’ at me, so I diverted to the Tesco garage and added £50 of Momentum E5
Today … the improvement is obvious
- Idling at the traffic-lights is almost silent
- Pick-up from idle is smoother
- The gear-change is smoother
- [it’s too soon to tell, but] the mpg is looking better
These are similar to the improvements I found on the BMW, and l think it supports what I said earlier about properly implemented VVT … the engines will ‘cope-with’ low grade fuel, but are capable of getting the best out of the good stuff.
So far, I’m a Happy Bunny
Time will tell whether E5 remains available/affordable
