Is it true that Tesco's sell a  99 Ron super unleaded?

did you notice any improvement (BHP or MPG) from using normal to VPower?

ditto, i cant see the difference, my mpg is still identical. i just thinks its abit of a con, as far as im concered, i shop at tesco, cheap fuel and its the same spec as the v power gimic fuel is. it comes from the same refinery, 99 octane is the same no matter how its branded.

Am going back to the cheap stuff, if there is any long term damage someone else will have the hassle
