To be honest i'd like to see Tescos 99 ron first, then build up.


Anyone know when theyre goin nationwide with it?

 

[Funkyfin2000]

yeah that would be good to use, is the tesco stuff...not available here in stafford...anyone in stoke area know if its available anywhere in staffs?

 

[thechief]

Dunno why its taking so long to hit the UK, the market is there for sure.

I work for tesco and have asked the pfs manager to do some digging , and let me know anything he finds out ..........

 

[Funkyfin2000]

nice one dude!

i used that 100 octane Shell on the wy back from the Ring, they had it in Germany and in Belgium and that was back in August

 

[slimjim]

Any noticable difference?

 

[Ant FR]

yep was better, but in all honesty its hard to tell really, cos to get the benfits you need to reset the ECu so it adapts to the new fuel properly.

 

[slimjim]

Or at least run it for a few tanks or so....
