Is Tesco 4 Star 99 RON?
I noticed that my local Tesco is selling 4 Star - Is this 99 RON ?
(They only had Unleaded, Diesel and 4 Star) Or do I need to look at another store for the Super Unleaded?

I use it whenever possible and find it at least as good as Optimax, but much cheaper.

4 star was leaded petrol - they might be selling LRP, which will still knacker your catalyst. It might well be 99 RON, but it's not suitable for a scooby.
Their 99 octane Super is on a green pump and is labelled as unleaded with a big round '99' label. I've just started using it in my STI and it's good stuff, though there's only a handful of places doing it right now.

For the sat nav owners: here are POIs for the 12 Tesco garages. There's also an up-to-date list of Shell garages (thanks to Robocop) and a perhaps slightly less up-to-date set of franchised Subaru dealers and independent specialists.

I spoke to Tesco customer services about this a while ago and they told me 99 may roll out across the country but, for now, it's being installed on a demand basis. The woman said if a petrol station manager gets enough requests from drivers, there's a far higher likelihood of it arriving sooner rather than later.
I'm in and out of my Tesco garage every day now, queueing with a nic-nac and asking if they have any of that high octane stuff the stores down south are getting? Anyone want to buy unopened chewing gums, crisps, a toothbrush, or snazzy fluffy gnome for your dashboard, lol?
