Default WHAT FUEL FOR FOCUS ST 2.5 TURBO

Ive been hearing different things but what fuel does it run on. Were they designed to run on standard unleaded or do they need Ultimate or Optimax?

Filled her up with optimax £1.00 a litre now more feeling of power at first but you get used to it after a few days.
car will probably feel like someones stuck a up the exhaust if i go back to 95 now tho

its mapped to run both 95 and 98, but obviously runs better on the higher octane.

think the loss is 20bhp on 95ron (ive read it somewhere from ford)
