Default Tesco 99 or V-Power

Is tesco 99 alright to use ? I have just got a 1995 WRX with about 300 BHP. I would like to use Tesco 99 as there is one just around the corner in Nottingham. Or is V power better ?

Mine runs on 99 normally, actually had it mapped to the stuff as the Tesco is only round the corner. I notice no performance difference but seem to get less miles when i put V-Power in!

5t.

I've tried both and mine seems to run better on Vpower for some reason (feels less responsive with Tesco99). Although it might have been mapped on Vpower.

Both fuels are good quality though and most people say there isn't much in it

Was told by my mapper that it makes no difference at all, I have a Tesco around the corner which the car was full of when it was mapped but have no fear in throwing in V-Power down it's throat when I'm in the town.

Both 99RON so go nuts :-D

Makes no difference to me performance wise, though seem to get through V-Power quicker for some reason.
