tesco 99 all day bud, once a month though i put v power in for the additives it apparently has. steer clear of the bp station though unless your happy to throw hard earned cash down the drain!!

i use v power or if i need some quickly tesco 99.

v power is by far the best as it's 100% 99ron where as tesco if you look into it is around 99ron.

believe it or not i actually notice a difference in mine if i use the teso fuel but thats probably due to my car having been mapped on v power.

i thought you could use normal unleaded as long as you put in an octane booster but personally i prefer optimax never had an issue with it i did once use some stuff from tesco's and it ran like a bag of ****e
