I assume you have a decatted exhaust?

The pops and bangs are basically unburnt fuel in the exhaust igniting,
nothing to concern yourself over really.

Tesco only market 97RON in their only Sheffield petrol station; the twats! I asked the station manager about 99RON but they just looked at me blankly with no idea what I was talking about..........

Could mean your running slightly rich, but that's better than lean!

Most cars chuck some unburt fuel out, especially when booted.

I drove all the way to Banbury after having my oil change done at
API, because the Tesco Green Energy site said that they had it.

Got their and pulled up on the forecourt, no bloody 99RON :mad:

I sent a very arsey email to Tesco customer services to make them
aware and had it removed from the site.

As an appology the cheeky buggers sent me a baseball cap.......

With bloody "Tesco 99RON" written on it !!!!!:freak3:

GrahamG 10 February 2006 07:26 PM
