The new Shell points card.

 

Most of us are probably V-Power club card owners... I know I am

 

Only use V Power if I'm not near Tesco's - Higher Octane and "usually" cheaper than V Power!

 

V Power is the same octane rating at 99RON, the same as Tesco 99, plus has been proven to be better than the Tesco offering. And what's a few extra pence per litre?

Snap!

 

Don't make me post my RR graphs again!!

 

i think tesco's 99 since feb this year is 99.7 ron and v-power is 99.1( if it makes any difference because they both cost too much anyway)

 

Where have you had those figures from?

Regardless of whether they are the same RON rating, there is a lot more to how a fuel performs than just its stated octane rating.

Calorific value, burn rate etc. all have to be taken into account. I've read that the Tesco 99 stuff has quite an aggressive burn rate which isn't favourable for mappers when they're trying to dial in extra adavnce ignition as it burns too quickly.

Tesco 99 stuff is basically Tesco 95RON petrol with bio-ethanol additives added to make the required RON grade. V Power, like Optimax has been designed from the start as a performance fuel and as such performs better.

Personally I have never used any supermarket fuel and never intend to, V Power all the way for me, regardless of price too.

 

put petrol in and drive it dont worry about it too much m8 its a car at the end of the day,and where i get my information is through the wonderful internet search tool the do ron ron, the do ron ron.

 

some big repair bills coming with an attitude like that. my cars fitted with a knock sensor, only ever put bad (low) fuel in once, will not be doing that again! Also BT unitermate for some reason has he sensor in the orange lol. Tesco and V power green zone always

 

GOOD TO SAY BUT WHEN YOUR ENGINE IS KNACKERED FROM RUBBISH FUEL OR LIKE ME HAVE TO RUN 99 ON IMPORT YOU PAY MORE ATTENTION AND CARE JUST A LITTLE MORE......

 

i also have a knock sensor and have had no issues whatsoever, i use whatever petrol station im closet too at the time if thats v power or tesco's 99 then so be it, i just dont have any big hang ups about which is bette than the other.

 

Ah, so you've come out of the closet at last !
