[mr lover]

[SupraAyf]

Great find Matt. This is good info to know;)

[Suprash]

Mmmmmm, interesting........good find

[ivan]

Nice find.

It confirms what my bum dyno has been telling me too.

[JohnA]

I've been using it since the first days it was launched.

Never looked back

do your shopping in tescos (spend over £50) and get 5p off a litre as well

[RedM]

I've always found that my car feels more 'grunty' at lower revs (moving off from a standstill, low speeds, urban driving etc) when using Tesco 99.

 

Although, when moving faster, say, at m-way speeds and higher up in the rev range it feels a bit gutless.

 

This then reverses with V-Power.

 

For the sort of driving/journeys that I do Tesco would be the right choice. However, my nearest Tesco is well out of my everyday routes.

i have always used tesco 99. excelent stuff

[snake]

i,m sure one of the car mags did an evaluation on fuels and found [optimax] as it used to be, the "best" to use on performance engines.shame i cant find it.

Yep, we saw that mag too, seems everyone has forgotten about that though, well remembered....

[Dave]

it was banzai that did the test cant find the issue but they di say optimax was the best on a turbo cosworth bench engine.

there a thread about it on here somewhere

[snake]

if only i could remember where i left my can of lager:(

[neil tt]

I think I will stick with Optimax , but an intresting read

[snake]

Its Now V Power Same Stuff More Money

[JohnA]

Do they display octane rating at the V-Power pumps?

 

With Optimax they wouldn't display anything, relying on internet rumours and innuendo - so for consumer tests it had be regarded as 95RON

[AndrewOW]

thats good, as its all I can get round here

 

 

Same here. Its all I've been putting into mine as well

[Wez]

V-Power for me

[RedM]

V-Power was rated at 98 in the literature at launch.

[stupra]

If I cant make it to my local Shell garage for V Power i'll use tesco 99, but I prefer to use V Power. It seem's to last longer too.

another vote here me too, great stuff and resonably priced compared to the others

[bmx1lew]

They dont display because they cant always guarantee what rating it is, but do state that it will be 98 minimum.........I think 99 is their target but for some strange reason they cant seem to guarantee this......funny when Tesco can though......I dont get it....
