Tesco Momentum 99 Octane.

I have a K&N Panel filter, GFB DV+ upgrage and a Miltek cat-back R32 rear style SS exhaust.

What do you run?

I don't care what anyone says about supermarket fuel - tesco 99 is the only fuel my car runs perfectly on.

@mashypz - I'm kind to mine, however you do need to rev it through the full range from time to time, otherwise the turbo won't get clean, fresh oil and end up going bad. Also, my car has been running brilliantly on Tesco Momentum, kind of went for it as it was a big sponsor of the MG BTCC team, I'm sorry for giving into marketing advertisement! :cry:

mike - lol no worries, never used tesco only use v power and once used bp but that was a load of s#*! I just cant believe how economical this car is (when driven sensibly!) and you have the incredible power and torque when needed! I dont think i will get rid of this until I have enough wonga for the brand new vw golf r coming out soon, you seen the stats on that? would be similar to an e46 m3 once stage 1 applied with around 40 mpg!

Ninja - do you think so, how much are they to buy?


we need to do this meet soon! who is up for it?

I might try the different high octane fuels through mine and see how it performs. So far Tesco Momentum is working well. I'll run my tank as low as I dare then fill with BP Ultimate and after, Shell Optimax. Results will be mostly personal opinion.

My golf used to drink anything. But.. This Mazda seems to seriously prefer tesco.
