Petrol types
Vehicles with petrol engines must refuel using unleaded petrol according to
European norm EN 228 ⇒ .
Petrol types are categorised according to their octane number (e.g. 91, 95,
98 or 99 RON (RON = "Research Octane Number"). You may use petrol with
a high octane number than the one recommended for your engine. Howev-

er, this has no advantage in terms of fuel consumption and engine power.
SEAT recommends refuelling with a low sulphur content or sulphur-free fuel
to reduce fuel consumption for petrol engines.
Petrol additives
The quality of the fuel influences running behaviour, performance and serv-
ice life of the engine. Therefore, it is recommended to refuel with good qual-
ity petrol containing the corresponding petrol additives. These additives will
help to prevent corrosion, keep the fuel system clean and prevent deposits
from building up in the engine.
If good quality petrol with additives are not available or engine problems
arise, the necessary additives must be added when refuelling ⇒ .
