The Tesco at Great Yarmouth is now selling the 99RON at 89p a litre. It's about time the prices were reduced a bit.

Anyone see 5th gear last week they tested Optimax against BP Ultimate etc, really made a difference to the v9 STI 14 bhp extra from optimax as opposed to Ultimate, didnt really think they would make that much difference... Tesco fule has not additives, cleaners in it, one of the reasons they can sell sooo cheap to you, you do sometimes get what you pay for!! Cheers Paul

Thats the reason I asked for evidence of no additives ............

As we can see there is a complete additives package ................

This is why such crap is propogated about, someone spouts utter rubbish and it gets repeated!
