I was reading over on another forum that Tesco have started selling 99RON fuel, and it's apprently 5p less than Optimax.

Haven't tried any yet in the Clio, but I doubt it would make much difference.

Here is a store locator: http://www.tesco.com/storelocator/

Maybe someone who needs to fill up on here could go to there local Tesco and fill up with some? Laughing

Lols this thread isn't asking if it will work. More a discussion about the fuel.

I get better fuel economy on optimax. last time i drove up home (330 odd miles) my car used a 1/4 of a tank less on optimax! noticable round town aswell.

The better fuel efficiency outweighs the extra cost imo, as it cost maybe an extra £2-3 to fill the tank with it, but i save that at least in "saved" petrol

how bigs the tank on a 19? 50 l?

so on normal unleaded at say 82p/litre, its costs £41

on optimax at 87.9p/litre, it costs £43.95

an extra £2.95 of optimax will give u more miles than £2.95 of normal unleaded

My findings anyway, based on a 60/40 split of ragging/sensible driving

Yeah I'm 90% sure just sticking 97RON Sul helps my car idle better. I've tried loads of things and after a few tanks of Sul it's smoother compared to normal Unleaded Smile

Not sure if all the Tescos have got 99RON yet. Will be taking a trip down on Sunday to see if my local has Cool
