     Hate to agree with you but I have just checked and it says

    98/95 Ron/Roz! Super plus/super unleaded.

    98/95 for UK spec.

    In Australia we can even run ours on 91 RON! due to a slightly lower compression engine supplied to us.Super Angry

    Result. Cheers boys. I knew it I knew it I knew it lol. Part of my argument was that the US run 91 as standard and 95 as super.

     The US uses a different fuel rating system.
