Been using this stuff as well as V power for a while now and never had a problem with it till this week. Filled up at Tescos with their Momentum 99 and the car just felt flat. Just been to Shell and filled up with V power and she's back to normal.

The Tescos i filled up at was the Bidston Moss one on the Wirral incase anyone wants to avoid it etc.

 

I find that with Momentum 99 all the time, mine does not like the stuff. i use esso's 97 or v power impreza loves both

 

tried momentum 99 again in this tank full of fuel and to be honest the car just hates it

 

mine seems to whiz thru momentum alot quicker than shell stuff, but admitedly ive been driving fairly hard lately as i dont get to drive the car alot
still ive done about 90 miles to just over half a tank o.0
imsure its not usually that bad on shell :/

 

Dam thats not good. Heard few people on here big it up, but i've found mine to just feel flat. untill i refil with somethimg else.

 

well it might just be me not usually driving the car as spirited as i am atm heh
im hoping to get a remap by Alan Jeffery in Pymouth but hes ignoring my PM's
hoping that will help with the fuel use at full chat a little anyhow heh

drive wise it seems ok on tesco stuff for me, just seems to drink more

 

some might laugh but i filled up with momentium and drove sensibly/low revs to work and back for a week and did 370 miles then filled up and only got 50 litres in. its a 60 litre tank so 400 miles is easily possible. though doing 70 or less on the motorway was painfull. normal driving has resumed lol

 

Ive never had a problem with the momentum but now im thinking of trying a tank of v power to see if i can see a difference

 

Always steer clear of supermarket fuel. Read somewhere that it's of less quality compared to the big guns like shell.

 

Well Andy F just mapped mine last week and thats what i use in mine as its my only option and he said the stuff was fine so thats good enough for me.

 

It seems fine in my car

At 132.9 per litre my wallet certainly likes it

 

sorry for bit off topic, but.. since i bought my00 uk model in january, i've been filling up with tesco's 99, but some say for a uk model, 95 should be fine? any advice on if i should stick to 99, or go with 95? only got induction kit, otherwise, standard for now..

 

stock UK MY99 ill run fine on either, runs slightly better on the 99ron. Have a read up on MAF failures (search function) as the MY 99's have weak MAF's leading to engine failure in some cases. Linked to induction kits especially ones requiring oil.

 

My car has been mapped on Esso 97 but it absolutely loves Momentum

 

Hmm, my cars fine on momentum and v power ?

 

I know the additives that make it into momentum 99 are added once it is in the tanker ready to be delivered so maybe whoever did it got it wrong. Not the first time supermarkets have had problems with their fuels.

 

Mine runs the same on momuntem and v power ,mapped by Bob Rawle for both

 

same as ^^^^^ for me

bob and andy f have mapped mine and never noticed difference from either feul

 

I've never heard of shell having any issues regarding their V Power though.

 

Well shell normaly same price as tesco near me so i normally go for v power. But twice tried momentum 99 and didn't feel responsive enough. Tried from few diffrent places, will stick to v power or esso 97.

 

tesco price has gone up 2p in 2 weeks :/ thought id stick a 2nd tank in to see how it goes ,managed 16.5mpg on the previous half tank
she certainly goes well enough on it after a nice country drive today

 

My car ( 05 Jdm Sti ) is mapped for V power, but I have used tesco,s 99 octane plenty of times and I haven,t noticed any difference. Steve.
