I now use Tesco 99 Ron, 87.9p, it really is good stuff! The car feels more responsive and pulls much better in 4th and 5th. It's also cheaper than optimax.

89.9p Hoath Way, Rainham, Kent.
I tried the tesco stuff but found it rather poor. Seemed to have more lag and was less responsive. Spose I should use a few tanks to test it properly, I just don't like putting s/market in any of my cars.

optimax 91.9p has been at that price for a month in leicester,
yet in notts it cost me 85.9p when i went there last week.

Takes the p*ss, 6p difference and they probably get delivery from the same tanker. soon adds up when your putting in 45 litres every 3-4 days.
