Default Any one tried Texaco new 99 Supreme99

Looks like Texaco has ditched the 97 and now have 99 Octane. Reason i ask is my Shell garage is over priced and my Texaco garage is loads cheaper fuel.

Waiting for a Youtube video of Ethanol levels, as Shell says it has 5%, but when tested by a Youtuber had none.

So would be interesting too see.

I thought it was Esso Supreme 99 that I've heard has no ethanol.
Apparently a barrel of crude oil is at an all time low, and at the pumps we're paying an all time high!

We are being priced off the road due to ****-pigs like greta and her army of environmental activists who think that electric cars will save our planet hence the brain washing of the government etc etc.
that's the reason I've just bought a 5.0 V8,I don't care that fuel is at an all time high and so is tax,I care that in 4-5 years time we won't be able to enjoy these cars anymore so our time is now.
DOWN WITH GRETA.....DOWN WITH GRETA
took the jag for fuel today,shell v-power £1.66 per litre.......**** it
