Tesco Petrol

[David Wynne]

Was in Tesco shopping tonight and had to get some fuel. Thought I would have to buy some economy crap but to my surprise they are also selling premium fuel with a 99 octane rating at 90p/L. Mini seams to like it though only drove about 5 miles. Time will tell.

really what site was that.

yes some of them do i as at one that did it in falkirk / grangmhouth but the one at dundee dose not have it !!

The Tesco extra at St Rollox (next to Costco) in Glasgow. Even better with the 5p off per litre fuel voucher thingy.

what did it say on it pump?

[Scottie]

it can only be normal Unleaded with JUST octane booster added.

It will have none of the additives that V Power or Ultimate has.

So it won't look after your engine in the same way that V Power or Ultimate will.

I think when i used it was called something very original like "Tesco 99 Octane Super Unleaded".

This is the stuff: http://www.greenergy.com/products/99_octane.html

There is a list in that site of all the towns you can get it too (though it would be more useful to tell you the actual stores..)

I think it was called "Premium unleaded" then underneath that it said 99 Octane on the pump handle. Next to it was the regular unleaded and diesel pumps. I was surprised as BP I think is only 97.
