Exclamation Tesco Super 99 - watch out

Have been using this in my car for some time now.

It became available in some pumps in the midlands but then when I filled up last night I noticed the label had reverted back to 97RON whilst the pump handle still said 99RON. Enquired inside and I was told that they have downgraded to 97RON.

Keep an eye out.

Tesco do a std 97RON at most their petrol stations now and 99RON a limited number. The Tesco website tells you which station sells what.

It's not going to be avalible in Scotland, well for the near future anyway, contacted them a few months back and they gave some bull about how there doing all that they can to get the fuel to as many filling stations as possible, but had not made any plans to release it in Scotland, *****!!

When I spoke to them, they said they were about to launch it North of the border, till some gobby tw@t mentioned something about prefering any team other than England to win the world cup and they thought that if the scots were so anti-british they could make their own fcukin high ron fuel

I filled up with Tesco's 99RON at biston Moss, Wirral last night. Turbo seems to wind up about 500rpm later but now seems to pack more of a punch. Very odd I thought, any idea's and this is on a MY00 T2000 Uk spec car with Magnex system from end of down pipe pipe back and middle de-cat.
