anyone else found that tesco's havent had 99 octane fuel for the past 7 days??? i cant find anywhere thats got it.Anyone else in your area finding tesco's selling 99?
-
Have a Tesco's near me, but they don't even sell petrol.....tight wads :angry:
Nearest one I pass that sells petrol is about 5 miles away and I'll be passing that way tomorrow. :smiley:
-
Mine had none today either.

-
kings lynn (Tesco) did not have any yesterday either - as I was pretty low stuck £10 of the cheap stuff in.
-
hummm 5 tescos with 3 miles and not one with a petrol station!!! :sick:
-
Same down here in Bristol
So I thought I'd treat the car with a tank of VPower...
-
ditto, i went for Vpower aswell through gritted teeth, (paying over the odds for the same fuel) im getting conserned about tesco having now by the looks of it across the uk, must be they are gonna stop selling it, as it comes from the same refinery as Vpower does :angry:.
-
Filled up with 99 last night at my local tesco's, so no problem here.........Yet!
-
Tesco K. Lynn had been re-stocked by last night - that saved me paying BP prices today.
-
good news vanders!!!, although i had to stump up £1.04 a litre of vpower yesturday. (much to my disgust), hopefully my local will have restocked intime for my next visit, no doubt in a couple of days as usual :sick:
-
Tesco purposely de-stocked 99 fuel because of the huge demand for standard unleaded caused by their "5p off a litre when you spend £50 in store" offer.
Seems to be back now though.
-
a quick one here guys,but a lot of you seem to be using tesco for fuel,i used to aswell until i started using the trip counter at every fill up and found that i was constantly getting 60 miles more out of a tank full of v power. :shocked:
-
well, ive filled up on vpower cus i couldnt get any 99 from tesco. Will report if i see any difference but i really cant see how though.So far im averageing 27-28 mpg but i do alot of short trips (sub 5 miles) so wont see better readings then that :smiley:

I haven't experienced that, and I use both.
-
my tesco is STILL outa stock!!! :angry:
-
yeh be interested if anyone else see a dif,have only used vpover in e30,but used to use both in previous gti.
-
I dont use it, but thought I might as well let you guys know, my local Tesco in South London is out of the stuff.
-
£1.04 for VPower !!! You need to stop getting it delivered to your door. It's only 99p up here in Glasgow. Our Tesco has plenty of 99 as well even during the 5p off thing. I only know because I filled up our other car (Lexus RX300) with 99 to see if it made any difference. Unfortunately it still does 23mpg but it was soo much cheaper than the hybrid version so i don't care.
-
99p of V-Power !
Unleaded is about 98p down my way :(
-
£1.04 thats the joy of living in the sunny south, you boys up north dont pay half as much as we have to down here!!, cost of living is alot more down here, and you have better roads to blast around on. thats just no fair!! :wink: :sad:
-
i paid 104.9 for v-power last week!! so not just you southerners who get it tough!!
-
that's not that bad - tescos 'best' is 101.9 a litre for me - you can guess what Shell / BP are charging - about 5p a ltr more and that makes a difference when I do 55 + miles a day.
Keep thinking of getting a Tesco Business credit card account which saves 2p a litre. Only trouble is my wife likes her / our clubcard points / vouchers bonus thingies.
-
Who gives monkeys what the wife likes ! :D
-
Used to live in London but could only afford a Capri and didn't drive it very often. That's why I left. Wouldn't wish London upon my worst enemy. Come up here boys, cheaper fuel, cheaper cars, cheaper property, some of the world's great roads and a quality football team (Michel Platini, Francoise Mitterand, Charles De Gaulle, Asterix the Gaul, Coco Chanel are you watching ? Your boys have been destroyed again !)
You'll get on so well with those cute southern accents !!
-
I'd rather boil my own head in horse piss that live north of Watford.
-
oh manchester oh manchester oh manchester is wonderfull. only 100.9 for v-power also.
-
:smiley:
-
Amen brother !

Good for you.
John clearly saw the light :D
This thread could get very nasty, very quickly.
-
i wasnt showing off with the 600k house, thats probobly nothing to london prices, its a petrol thread and manchester gets slated, im from salford origionally ive worked hard as a rep selling gym equipment for the last 10 years after a short pro-boxing career ruined by detached retina, cheers stan.
-
Im just messing mate :laugh:
I just cant resist a little dig at "The North", its just in my nature.
-
no problem, it is true about the rain in manchester though, its peeing it down again today :cry:
-
:cool:
-
:smiley:
-
Just popped to Tesco for some 97.9p a litre Tesco 99. Normal is only 94.9 and you get 5p off with those voucher thingys. Ach the North is where it's at !!! :smiley:
-
jammy git :cry:
They are not even giving away discount vouchers around here at the moment - although they were about a month ago.
