I usually tend to use Sainsburys s/ul for my 99MY Turbo (standard spec) but made a trip to the nearest Tesco (Stevenage) selling 99RON today, paid 90.9p/l, which is only 4p/l more than I usually pay for 97RON

I doubt it will make any difference to the performance of the car (what with the heat and all) but, its worth an experiment at the least!

 

was just going to ask if it had been spotted in colchester, thanks M@TT.

 

I read from an email at work (tesco) that all tesco petrol stations with LRP will be stopped and replaced with 99 ron petrol reason being sales are crap with the LRP. I lost the print from the email (sorry) because it had a list of stores that are going to supply 99 ron and from what dates, still trying to get hold of that email from work.
As soon as I do I will get it posted up.

 

Tesco's Brislington (Bristol) now have 99Ron Super unleaded @ 89.9 Pence per litre, will try it out on the next tank fill

 

Tesco's at Macclesfield have just closed down their petrol station for refurbishment so I hope they might get it when they open again.

 

Winchester Tesco's still have it but at 94.9

 

Tescos Leatherhead just started doing 99 RON yesterday! YIPPEE!!!!!

(Its 93.9p/L if youre interested)

 

92.6ish now!

 

Just came back from there. 91.9p now.

 

Blimey..........Filled up mine on Monday and it was 89.9p

 

Time to petition Tescos then.

I've made a start

Can we please have your 99 RON fuel up north please - there's thausands of high performance imported cars (built for 100 RON petrol) on the edge of their buckets seats waiting!

cheers

P.S double club card points offer would be great too!

If people could add sites as the 99 appears and also add a bit more detail to the locations we could have a nice database for when travelling.

 

LOL exactly, I buy Optimax cos it's the highest octane I can get around here and cos I have an Optimax points card so I might as well. Not cos I want to keep Shell in business and not cos I believe all this 'better detergents' myth either. Petrol is petrol unless you regularly buy from a one-pump service station in the middle of nowhere that has fuel sitting around for months on end going off. If you think about it, why on earth would supermarkets go out of their way to buy inferior petrol and where would they get it from? A special refinery that caters for forecourts that want to sell sub-standard, sub-octane fuel? It all comes from the same refineries and is just distributed in different tankers, simple as that. IMHO

i went to the folkstone one on 5th aug and it was still 97....

 

has it come to the midlands yet??

 

u lot are so bloody lucky!!!! im paying 101p per litre for optimax... roll on 99octane tesco fuel in the midlands!

 

There's 99RON Super Unleaded in my local garage but its priced at £1.03/ltr

Still had to fill it up

 

Watford now have the 99ron stuff

 

99 Ron is now available at the Kingston branch of Tesco in Milton Keynes.. 97.9 p per litre...

Andy

 

its spreading further then... just need it in the midlands!!

 

result It wasn't there a few weeks ago. BYe Bye Shell

Also heard that Bedford 2 had it as well.

Simon

 

Yeah, the guy at work who's missus works @ Bedford 2 had said it's at both of their stores now....

but as I'm in Mk Kigston will do me just fine... only gone through half a tank so far, cant tell any difference to optimax ??

Andy

 

Have you not read the official response to this from one of the Admin. Guys on here??????

Tesco said they do NOT sell 99ron but only 98octane fuel!!!!
They do after all buy all their fuel from the same petrol wholesalers as everybody else! Thats why nobody else sells 99ron! They said it was a mistake to advertise it as such!

 

Its now available from Kettering at 97.9p

 

Yep i've seen it and i recon there admins wrong,Its been some weeks now since this letter was recieved and yet there still sticking 99ron on the pumps?

If they new there was a problem why have they not changed the stickers on all the pumps over the last few weeks? Just to add even if its 98 my car runs just as well on it as optimax and i cant use bp so i guess its better than there stuff.
