Default no 99 ?

hi guys, dono if im being stupid and dont wana bore but..
I spend 2 /3 weeks a month on the west coast near cardigan , the other 2 /1 week a month back home in uk near brighton , always filling up with v-power etc..

here in wales we only get 97 octane super ? not 99 ??? as i see no 99 logo's at any of the 5 shell stations within 30miles of me ??

and also noticed that tesco also only sell 97 octane where as all over the uk its 99 .?

i could understand if the fuel was cheaper ... but your paying the same or 2 /3 pence more per litre as well and it comes of the boat at haverford west ???

or is someone pulling my/our chain ?

Dave.

It because you spend all your time in West Wales where men are men and sheep are scared!

Never a problem around Cardiff/Swansea/Newport and the Valleys. Tesco always as 99, I know the Shell at Sarn Park J36 M4/A48 in Cardiff as V-Power and some of the lads use it regularly.

Perhaps the pumps have the old stickers on them still?

thanks for the replys guys , but ...is the v-power here in wales actually 99 octane ?? or just 97 , ? as blue dragon said , maybe they just havnt updated there pump badges or is it something else ??

i know all the shell stations within a 30mile radius aswell , just woundering why none are badged as they are in the UK.
