BoozyDave Posted March 1, 2014 Posted March 1, 2014 I prefer Tesco's to Shell, not sure if it's placebo, but it just 'feels' better my nearest Shell is 6 miles away (a new petrol station, used to be 9 miles to nearest) but I'd rather go 8 miles to the nearest Tesco's for momentum 99 :)
ScoobySTI Posted March 1, 2014 Posted March 1, 2014 Yes it's good but if you can get 4-5 mpg more from Shell and the mpg outweighs the extra cost I might give it a chance, what you think?
david1972 Posted March 1, 2014 Posted March 1, 2014 I try to use Shell standard fuel where I can, but nearest station is circa 12 miles away. Tesco 1 mile away so used that for the first time last tank. Be interesting to see if there's any difference Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk
BoozyDave Posted March 1, 2014 Posted March 1, 2014 I get better MPG from Tesco 99, most I've had on a run is 36MPG, best I've had from nitro is 32MPG. and Tesco 99 is 10p a litre cheaper too
Gambit Posted March 1, 2014 Posted March 1, 2014 I have to use Tesco or Total I have no choice wouldn't pay me to even try get to my local S-hell Garage
Gambit Posted March 1, 2014 Posted March 1, 2014 Yeah they're both Uk car's I can only use the two garages but if I'm at Total it's Total Excellium
Interceptor11 Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 V power here too. Why compromise,that's what mine's mapped for
Gambit Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 I would if it wasn't a 25 mile round trip to my nearest that I very rarely go past :(
Spuds Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 It says 95 ron ONLY on the inside of my petrol flap so is v power ok
Gambit Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 It's a Uk car so it will run happy on that but also wouldn't do any harm putting anything else above that through. And I have to apologise I have been using this petrol station for over 5 years and been saying it;s Total, well infact it Esso -_- I did notice about 3 days ago when I went past but didn't want to say anything :) 1
Pommy Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 I filled up with v-power for the first time yesterday and is running much nicer than before. And am getting a loyalty card so make a little back, and will probably start checking MPG. Although my MPG goes down with every car, 50 with the Panda, then 31 with the MX5 and I feel this will be slightly less...

Why compromise,that's what mine's mapped for I had a Mazda 323 sport a while back, that was tuned to run on vpower the difference was huge. Only problem was it ran like a bucket of bolts on normal fuel. Definitely worth tuning your car to the fuel if you only intend to use that fuel, you'll get much better response and performance Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk
mfnick Posted March 9, 2014 Posted March 9, 2014 I always use V-Power mainly due to the extra cleaning properties they (claim) to put in compared to Tesco.
