We had  few Mpower customers asking about tesco 99, Been in touch with tesco about it but only mainly down south at mo. Read big article at work about it which they were using all top 98ron and tesco's 99, BP ultima came out top easy. Using mk5 golf gti and bmw m5. On gti using ultima gave out 5bhp and 10lbft torque more than optimax and 10lbft torque over tesco99 bhp was same. Very suprising that ultima gave more torque than sanuco racing fuel which the type they tested was £350lt by 4lbft, But less bhp by 6. Normal fuel ultima pissed on them with tesco 2nd and optimax 3rd.

As above, fuel batches can vary.

Is 99 Ron going to make any difference for an 8 valve??

Yes I've been using it since before christmas, combine it with regular oil/filter changes. When I first started using it I couldn't beleive the extra pulling power, have got used it again now.

Very recomended! Its 1p dearer that normal BP unleaded!!! and 4 ron more......

My local does the 99ron stuff but isnt on the list. So if your in the middlesbrough area then you do have a local station. The one on marton road.
