Default Tesco petrol ... 3 types?

Ive been using Tesco's 99 octane stuff for a while now and am happy with it blah blah.

I went to Bicester the other day and went into the tescos next to the desinger outlet village thingy ... the petrol in there is 95 for normal and 97 for super.

Does this mean they now have 3 different types of petrol?
This same garage had the 99 stuff there a couple of months back!

... Im far from well off ... I just decided that its too depressing to look.
At the end of the day, I have a car that likes fuel and continually checking out prices will just depress me.
The best thing to do is just accept that your car needs fuel and that theres nothing you can do about it other than buying yourself something more sedate and boring.I am willing to pay a bit more because i get a huge reward in driving my car

Exactly. I don't read the petrol prices now for the same reasons. Putting in £52 a week instead of £50 at a slightly cheaper petrol station is not worth worrying about.

Driving is an ejoyable pasttime for me as well so I'm happy to spend the money on fuel.
