V-Power Vs Tesco Juice
« on: 02 September 2009, 15:09 »
Guys,

The fuel octane debate has raged and raged and raged...  

I'm not interested arguing over RON values, Tesco's 5% biofuel content or whatever, simply what do you feel makes your GTi run better... Shell V-Power, or Tesco juice?

For the sake of 1-2p a litre, I'll fill the lady up on whatever is generally accepted as better!  :laugh:

The GTD is like a blow up doll. The GTI is like a proper woman. Sure the doll might last longer, and the woman might have higher running costs, but which would you rather have?

I use Tesco 99 over shell, main reasons being my local fuelstop is tesco, i get my clubcard points, but comparing the 2, i get identical performance, mpg when ive used both types of fuel when ive been nearer a shell stop.
My nearest shell garages have had credit card fraud on a number of occasions, and i try and refuse to go there using my debit card.
I dont trust them with my card.Im not mentioning Nationality.

Sorry, thats just my experiance.

Had to fill up with BP  :sick: the other week as the local Shell is having new pumps fitted.

The nearest Tesco fuel is 17 miles away :sick:

For me  -  Shell first, then Tesco, then BP Ultimate as an emergency. :smiley:

Thanks Phil, Hurdy.

I've got a huuuuuuuge Tesco about a mile away, but for some inexplicable reason it doesn't have a fuel forecourt.  :undecided:

I use Tesco 99 (mainly for the points), but I was interested in you guys' experiences. Might give the Shell a few tanks.

Which I had a choice!!!!!

No shell or tesco 99 ron pumps within 15-20 miles of my house and the car is rarely used outside this zone. 80% of stations around here are texaco so this is mainly what I use.. only 97 ron though  :angry:

....

My late Godfather was very senior in the Shell organisation in The Mediterranean and I feel an inclination to honour his memory and all his support, so I wouldn't consider using anything else as long as it suits my car, which V-Power does.

I think I have to say the same .... generally .... though every now and then I feel the car is livelier - and on each of those occasions I have had Tesco 99 in the tank !
