Well... good to hear it is in town. There was a thread over on G.G. a while back on Tesco 99Ron most posters *appeared* to like it. Think I'll try a tank or two in the R33,(Likes optimax & Texaco super UL but hates BP super UL btw) just to see.
5th Gear are doing a super unleaded comparison test on tomorrow's show, so it'll be interesting to see what they come up with.

It is at Tesco Brislington, and its only 91.9/l too! I got a bit stuck first thing this morning and ended up paying £1.05/l for BP Ultimate @ Membury services........

Will be trying some.Its 100.9 at local Texaco station (9 p a litre more the robbing bar stewards )and 97.9 at the local Murco but the griff hasn't grumbled or coughed with anything that I've put in it so far.

My M5 was filled up at Brislington earlier in the week. Seems to be running well and it only cost about 90p a litre. 7p saving on optimax.

If you spend over £50 in store you get 5p/litre off at the pumps. It was up at 89.9p/litre last night, so I paid 84.9p/litre

Tesco 99, but dunno if you'll need to get the ECU reset once you're running on it to make the most use of all those RONs.

[dazren]

I've been told that turbo charged cars tend to get the best returns with these higher RON petrols. Also been told that many cars are not set up to extract the additional power from them in which case an owner may be wasting money. Think EVO magazine should have an interesting article on fuel benefits in the next month or so......

I'd be interested to see what the benefits are. The Motronic ECU in my S4 is set up to give optimum performance in most operating conditions even when running on shitty american jungle juice. Some geeky guys in the US tested the 100 S4 with fuels of various octane ratings back in the '90s when the cars were current - the only time higher octane fuel made a useful difference was when towing a trailer up a mountain. Having said that, the ECU can of course be remapped to take advantage of the higher octane fuel...
