Tesco Momentum is slightly better than V power I thought, after reading that thread on here which compared the two? Even or though really but avoid BP Ultimate I say..

i remember 5th gear doin a review on petrol between normal petrol V-power and bp ultimate

it was over 3 cars, 1.2 clio, mk5 golf gti and a subaru impreza

none gave any performance difference for the 1.2 clio

about 5/6bhp for v-power and 3/4bhp for bp ultimate for the golf gti

and about 10/15 bhp for the v-power, i cant properly remember but it was the higher the performacnce of the car the better the gains from the pertol

v-power beat BP on every occasion

Im only using v power in my car. Ive used v power and BP Ultimate in my Ducati and the bike definitely runs smoother and more responsive with v power.

When i done some alpine driving last july in Germany they had V power racing = 100 ron. Only used it once as i werent in Germany that long and i doubt the ecu got a chance to adapt to it. Im expecting that to make it to the uk at some point.

I ended up paying 135.9 for v power the other day it was still cheaper than Diesel at 138.9  I know you would get more miles out of your diesel car but not quite the same fun!

I wouldn't buy that petrol unless you know for certain that it was delivered <4 week previously. The octane goes down over time so if it's 6 months old it may be less than 99RON.  :scared:
