as long as its the same octane as v power which the tesco 99 is,then it should be ok.

V-power and Tesco 'Momentum' are 99 octane.
BP is 97.....for the same price as v power, not worth it, and dont touch if you have a 99 map.

There are rumours that 101 is coing into shell soon...but that maby hear say...

tesco99 comes out best largely due to price.

my car was setup 3 years ago for V-power, but means as it's a car and not the space shuttle, i took a huge risk and started to use tesco 99, it hasn't blown up yet.

They are sponsored by Tesco also though so the test could be a bit biased.
