Found no difference between T99 and V-power (had loss of 8bhp on RR, which could be down the elements).

I prefer V-power but T99 is closer and I don't have to keep visiting the cash machine everytime I wanna fill up.

I use a mixture of V-Power and Tesco 99. The Tesco 99 comes in pretty cheap if you have a 5p a litre off voucher  :smiley:
I would say the car does start up better on a cold morning when its has a tank full of Tesco 99.

Tesco 99 (bring on the points :D) for me. I use V-Power now and again if Im running low when Im out and about. A few times now I have run low and had to use other brand of premium fuels but only put enough to get me home and then refill with Tesco.

Is there a price difference between T99 and V-Power?
Ive only had my car a little while and have filled up twice (always fill to the brim when empty) and thought that V-Power wa sthe way to go. I havent touched the T99, but may give it a try - especially if its a little cheaper ;)

Always use 99 Tesco’s brew.

Read a independent report a while back, testing all the known suspects and Tesco’s came out on top. My cars seem run very well on Tesco’s, not great on BP and fine on Shell. The low octane stuff really does dent the performance & mpg.  :smiley:
