Tesco 99 or Shell V-Power (was optimax)

[mashhead]

What do you guys think.

Tesco is deffo the cheaper one, costs around £50 for a full tank, marked improvement over 95.

However i find that the v-power gives just that extra little 'surge' right up in the 5-6k rpm stage just when he turbo is boosting at full pressure. however at over £60 to fill up the tank, its a bit pricy.

for some reason tesco's 99 just does not quite cut it in the high rev range.

Also im' yet to try BP's 102 £2.-odd a litre fuel.

what do you think?

I run on shell vpower all the time. Noticeably different to the supermarket SUL blends- i get better economy as well so the extra cost is worth it.
Worst petrol of the bunch is BP ultimate- car did not like it at all ( tried 2 tanks, never again).

v power at shell makes my car go noticeably faster.
i as of yet havent managed to find a tesco with 99 ron in it

I find both V-Power and Ultimate work well in the Aero

Did/does he work for GM/Saab or in marketing or something?

I've got a 9-3 TiD 150 and am on my second tankful of V-Power Diesel. A very noticeable difference in acceleration but as my right foot has just got much heavier my fuel economy has actually gone down slightly.
