With a tesco petrol station just down the road from me ive been running the 197 on its super unleaded 99RON for around 3 months now. I dont know whether I was kidding myslef but it did seem to pull better at low revs. Does anyone rate or hate this fuel, bearing in mind its 99.9p a litre.

would basicly say the the higher the tune / bhp the more you will get out of hight octane fuel.
higher octane fuel doesnt hurt the car and you are spose to get more mpg.

I've stopped using it too, seemed to reduce my MPG. God knows why

same for me as well!the vid was made b4 tesco99 was out! i use it all the time in my 172 and i think its much better then normal fuel! and no worst then vpower or the like! its only 96.9 where i live as well

my car drives much nicer on super than it does on normal unleaded
dont notice any difference between BP ultimate/optimax/tesco 99 and normal super so i usually run on supermarket super unleaded

I have been using Tesco 99RON for a few months now as the petrol station on my way into work sells it for 98.6p a litre - actually I think it's gone down a penny recently. Before that I always used 97 or 98RON such as: Esso Super / BP Ultimate / Optimax - erm - I mean V-power. I haven't used 95RON for years!
Anyway, first thing I noticed was that my standard 172 seemed to pull better low down (between 2-4k) and removed a very slight flat-spot around 3k. I just chailked that up to me thinking too positively about the new fuel, but it seems to concur with what has been said on here.
Second noticable thing is the MPG. With 97RON I got about 32-33mpg and with my right-foot being susceptible to gravity, I didn't think that was too bad. Now with 99RON I really have to cane it to get below 35mpg. On steady, long motorway runs I bet it pushes 40mpg.
Overall, i am really impressed with the fuel. Would certainly recommend using it for a few tankfulls!
Still looking for a place that does BP102 though!

a thirsty one
i have been doing my own trial and errors this year and found the 99 tesco stuff felt fine but mpg was average, the super from sainsburys was 97ron and about 5p a litre cheaper and felt the same and same mpg, v power is about 99.9 p a litre at the moment car drives the same but i do get about 4 mpg better per tank.
my conclusion i use whichever super unleaded i am nearest to unless im feeling flush and will use vpower as although more expensive the extra mpg prob cancels this out.
