True and worthy of consideration as a decent Super Unleaded, but have you seen a comparison with it against the BP and Shell fuels on a dyno test? I saw one with a highly tuned Cosworth engine back in my Fast Ford days (appologies LOL) and the power differences were unbelievable between regular super unleaded, Tesco's 99, BP and Shell. The Shell version was a huge winner. :cool:

I Starting using 97 and the difference isnt really noticable until your 2nd or 3rd tank . if you then put 95 back in its laughable , just hasnt got that same pulling power especially up in the higher revs . 50mph plus

Let me know how you get on.

I'll get the RON from tesco due to the clubcard making it effectively 1p cheaper a litre  :tongue: :smug:
