About the same round here (Berkshire/Hampsire) - varies between 1.12 -1.14 at the moment.

I have been using vpower, but decided to try T99 for the last 2 tanks or so.
Im seeing the same mpg as I did with vpower.

my car was very low on fuel one day and i only put £15 of vpower in. drove normally for the 3days to and from work only.i did the same using tesco super and it seemed to burn a little faster.i would say i got around 9 more miles with the vpower, untill the needle was very very low. in my car it lasts a little longer anyway, but i still think tesco super is better for performance!!

Oli:
Just to add a bit more to this, I always run my car on Tesco 99 and occasionally V-Power, but when in Wales last week all I could get in was BP Ultimate.  After 1/2 tank, under full acceleration, I noticed it surging a bit, still quick, but not as smooth.  Once the tank was empty, I refilled with Tesco 99, and 50 miles or so later, good as gold again :happy2:
