Just read the fuel grade article in the latest news section. Is 99 available at Tesco's in Bridge of Don yet? What about Inverurie?

I'm pretty certain it is at Danestone (BoD).

It is at Danestone, as I've filled up with it a few times there when it first came out in my old car. I didn't notice any difference v's Optimax/V-Power which was it's exclusive diet previously, but a couple of weeks later the Fuel Ratio sensor failed. I doubt the failure was anything to due with the new fuel, and just age (60k miles).

I've been filling up there for a while now (BoD)

When I had the RS I was certain there was a tangible difference between its previous diet of V-power and the '99.

Interestingly, a long chat with John at Thorney motorsport revealed that he swears by the '99 and has seen significant gains on both Turbo and N/A cars.

for my new steed, he emailed me a dyno graph of one he did earlier, which highlighted a good deal more power in the mid range compared with V-power/Ultimate et al.

Apparently, it has something to do with the ethanol content which gives you a bigger bang for your buck.

Sounds like it's worth trying. Will let me tank run down then fill up.

How much is a litre of 99 at Tesco then. I am sure I am paying around 101.9p at the moment for V-Power.
