That one contains 10% ethanol. EU union is pushing to have more bio fuel blended in our fuels (2020 targets on CO2 and such).
Think I read somewhere in the owners manual up to which % our GT's can run on mixed fuels, but it also says the preferred fuel is RON98 otherwise the engine's power output starts cutting down (anti-knock systems starting to play with ignition timings, so nothing to do with ethanol contents). Anyway, that Euro98 contains less ethanol than the euro95, but the GT works on both.
And I put 98 in it, no funny noises from the engine at all. On the other hand, when it was hot and the A/C on, in heavy traffic queing there's ugly noise coming from the engine bay. Switch off the A/C => problem gone. Strange, but I didn't spot anything that indicates an issue.

Never heard the cricket issue in Belgium before so i guessed we had better fuel it's rly strange though that we dont have any cricket's here, well as far as i know, hope it doesent start when they start increasing the ethanol here :p anyway the only thing that annoys me is the window squeek for the rest the quality so far is great for me.
