Posted October 20, 200519 yr Not sure how many people will find this useful but you can now get it at the Milton branch of Tesco just off the A14. Don't know about Bar Hill but will check next time I'm passing there (might not be for a while though - that section of the A14 sucks beyond belief so I generally try to avoid it at all costs).
October 20, 200519 yr Do we have members from the SE who have tried this Tesco fuel? Did you think it was equally as good, if not better than Optimax?
October 20, 200519 yr Any sightings in scotland? Hey lad....Get in the queue. :D :D As far as I know the furthest north at the moment is approx 50 miles north of London. Looks like we've both got a long wait my friend :headvswal
October 20, 200519 yr Author Well I've only driven about two miles with it in so don't know yet. It's a bit cheaper than Optimax, but not much. I think Optimax is 100.9 - 101.9 around here, and the Tesco stuff was either 97.9 or 98.9 - can't remember which.

October 20, 200519 yr I'm amazed people are still falling for this go for the highest possible RON nonsense. UK cars do not need 99 RON petrol, never had and never will, just throwing your money away.

October 20, 200519 yr Ohhhhhhhh getting closer to Leicester!! Â Shame my Z's off the road til April now LOL!
October 20, 200519 yr Ohhhhhhhh getting closer to Leicester!! Shame my Z's off the road til April now LOL!  Rich, given you had a choice, which fuel would you use ?  98RON Optimax or 99RON Tesco

UK cars do not need 99 RON petrol, never had and never will, just throwing your money away. Â It's more conbustable and ignites better, a lot of people need it when running higher boost as detination will occur.. Don't have a Z running 1Bar boost and use normall 95Octane fuel.. It WILL detonate and go bang on you!!!! ;)
October 20, 200519 yr Steve, Â Honestly, without trying it i dont know! Â But 1 more octane and less cash appeals to me :)
