On the way into work this morning I noticed that Tesco (Kingston, Milton Keynes) have dropped normal unleaded to 99.9p like all the others around here but have stuck 2p a litre on 99RON making it 110.9
It was certainly 108.9 on Friday on the way home. I'll be checking out my local Shell as I'm sure they are cheaper for V-Power.

 

I keep telling people that Tesco are crooks. Theyve been profiteering on 99RON for years.

 

spend £50 in tesco and u get anoher 5p/Litre off

 

V-POWER IS 99.4 Ron anyway...........

 

My local Shell is doing unleaded at 99.9 and v power at 109.9 but prior to this drop there was always only a 7p difference. Scamming *****!!!

Banny

 

streetly shell west midlands v power now only £1.06

 

Tesco's round here put the price of ther 99 ron to 106.9

 

I have always stuck with Shell

 

really? Where did you glean that from?

 

My local shell (at the bottom of reading just before the M4) is doing v power for 104.9. JUst filled up.

 

Why is that good? Whoop de fooking doo petrol has gone down by a couple of pence after going up by loads.

 

Never you mind................

 

Filled mine up saturday at tesco 104.9

 

Im sure that its well over 100RON when it leaves the refinery. I wonder what it is by the time that your local Shell garage has sold it to you...?

 

I've swapped to Tesco 99 now for the first time. Been using Shell in all my performance cars for the last 12 years but they've been so much dearer recently than Tesco that it's made me try it.

Tesco 99 is 104.9 here and V-Power is now 106.9 but they held it at 111.9 while Tesco dropped straight away from 107.9 to 104.9

 

do you notice any difference with the tescos stuff then

 

98 ron in Florida was $3.00 on saturday so about £1.80 a gallon, although a US gallon is slightly less than ours

 

A US gallon is almost one litre less, but its still cheap.

 

US Gallon is 3.78 litres
UK Gallon 4.55 litres

I don't know many things but thats something I'm sure about

 

Now try to stop the government putting at least 2p on the fuel tax!

Tesco 99 seems every bit as good as V-Power in my STi (albeit modified) I've found V-Power can vary, on occasions.

Tesco changed it again this morning I noticed. 95RON = 97.9ppl, 99RON = 109.9ppl still an increase from what it was last week and petrolprices.com reporting 99 as 104.9 which is definitely wrong.

 

Always been the same issue with V-Power/Optimax. It isn't the most stable and goes off as it gets older. Therefore they can't guarantee what rating it will be when it comes out of the pump just that it will be 99 minimum. The fresher it is the more fizz it has basically.

(That's the simple version at least - and yes should be 100 or so when it leaves the refinary)


5t.

 

Haven't been using it for long enough to notice yet,only done around 50 miles or so

 

97.9 for normal and 102.9 for Tesco 99. Keep the drops coming.

 

I filled up at my local Shell and V Power was 119.9p and the regular unleaded was 104.9p!!!!

Needless to say i'll be going elsewhere next time,even if it is a little less 'local'.
