I've tried 98RON in my Fiesta, and every four tanks put some in, but I personally don't find any massive advantage (perhaps over time I would), but using a constant supply of 95RON seems to work a treat. Even if 95RON sky rockets in price, the convenience of having more pickup, along with better economy (wether it be better in comparison to the cost doesn't worry me, I don't pay for my fuel my work does) makes 95RON the better choice for me. 98RON could again be better, it was in the WP Fiesta. Everyone has different needs in life, different financial situations, different influential factors, all I can say is what I think and know, and 91RON or E91 just doesn't cut it for me.

All very good points, that is why Ford recommends 95.

I was just referring to the economy of it all.
