Sainsburys don't do 99 or 100ron fuel. The highest you can get in the uk is Tesco momentum @ 99ron or shell V-power @99ron. You can get BP 102 ron at some stations normally near race tracks but at about £2.50 per liter.

She's full of **** mate. Sainsburys do 95 and 97 ron and its crap. If i put Sainsburys petrol in my misses car it does 7mpg less than on other petrols. Up to you mate ,it's your engine.

MattyB1983 12 June 2012 10:44 PM

Sainsburys best fuel is only 97 RON.

Personally, wouldn't be using it in my car.

Nor me mate.

Tonka2, if getting Tesco 99 or v-power is a problem just get your car mapped to run on SUL 97ron. I still still wouldn't use supermarket fuel though with the exception of momentum.

MattyB1983 12 June 2012 10:55 PM

I'm just not a fan of supermarket fuel full stop.
Car is mapped on V-Power and my mapper advised me to only ever use it. I'm lucky though as have a shell within 10 miles of my house.

Mine was mapped on v-power but my mapper told me using momentum was fine. I normally use shell as it's closer to me.

My STi was mapped using V-Power but I regularly use Momentum and find it every bit as good as the Shell. No more activity on the KS3 than on V-Power.

Gents, have a look around other posts, there are at least three threads running at the moment on this subject, eg "Fuel octane requirement"
