Default A interesting read.

To a earlier post about V-power v Tesco momentum this is pretty interesting.

the only problem with tesco momentum is the lack of petrol stations supplying it

Evo Mag did a similar test few years back ... their biggest finding was that fresh fuel is better ie go to large garages rather than small ones - fuel goes bad quite quickly. They even put that ahead of the ron rating

Nah. it's major problem is that it goes out of stock and "Customer -don't care" Tossco neither care, nor know when it'll be back.

Also momentum is similar to optimax where as its boosted rather than refined fuel, so it goes off quicker, and we all remember the tesco fiasco dont we with their fuel?
