garetgax Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Cheers had a look and yes 98ron. TBH have only put v power or excellium in it anyhow so will prob stick to putting v power in it although theres a few tesco 99 stations round my way as well.

spursmaddave Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Ive always filled up with super. untill the other day (just becasue it was the only place in range) i put asda crap in. Im shocked, it actually made a difference to my mpg im doing 17 where i would normally do 20. but then without proper comparative tests etc who knows. but i do 20mpg Allllll the time on my run to and from work. this is the first time its ever dipped like that and i did nothing else differently That interesting, the Sainsbury Super stuff is 97 Ron I believe so jot quite as bad as bog standard stuff, my mpg compares with what others get on here and I had good results at Abbey so it will do for me...

Demolition49 Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 I reached 97 at tesco the other day, was afraid i was going to go over the £99 max limit...!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronzee Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 It's a bit weird for me .... as my company is based in NZ, so they follow the NZ laws... and also the UK ones. Plus I think the miles are charged to the customer, not claimed from the Government... Unlucky you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may find its a bit over 97RON anyway. Technically 99RON is a little better as it can advance timing ever so slightly, but no a lot. I definately notice it pretty much straight away when I have had to put a full tank of 95RON in. Doesnt take it long to detect knock and wind back the timing. On the flip side, it does take a while to notice the difference going up to 99RON from 95RON as it will take a while to advance the timing as it doesnt know its 99RON, it just keeps going until it detects knock. As thats quite slow, you dont really notice the difference in the "bum dyno" of using 99RON, just in MPG, but if you ever drop back down, you do notice it pretty quickly. Texaco fuel made my car have a fit, really didnt like that, and I only put a tenna in when it was desperate (DTE on ----) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
