Default Tesco 99 RON - Leatherhead

Leatherhead have just stocked up on 99 RON.

Now that I can buy it, should I? Will it make an MY03 wrx any different?

Better fill up before the blockades

Question How much a litre?

Hello "Porl"

I last paid 100.9 for Optimax. How much is the 99 RON at this Tesco?

Regards

I think it was 99p/ltr, I will check again and post if it was different.

So whats the verdict guys, is 99 RON worth it for a UK car?

One of the members on here wrote a letter to Tesco regarding this
and they confirmed that none of their garages are selling 99RON fuel.

They are selling 97RON.

Far more likely to be an error made by the person who wrote the letter isnt it? Especially when you consider that the 99RON fuel is being trialled in a small (although growing) area in the South East. Think about it; Id be more surprised if theyd received a knowledgable reply.....

Filled up at Thurrock and Tesco were selling 99 RON. few days later filled up at Bangor Tesco and the best they had was 97 RON. That would suggest they sell both.....Oh and the car ran great on it 20 miles more per tank than 97 RON
