hi all, unfortunately in my town i only have a choice of bp or sainsburys for petrol with bp super coming in at 109.9 and sainsburys at 102.9, basically is it any good? If i am travelling out of town i try to get tesco super.

Not really sure about Sainsburys but i always use shell 98ron :happy2:
-
Sainsburys petrol is supplied from BP. Its exactly the same as the BP stuff. :happy2:

I've also heard it's BP. Dunno if the additives / detergents are the same though. Probably! :smiley:

I was under the impression the Sainsbury's stuff was 97 and not 99 ron. :smiley:
-
sainsburys stuff is the same as bp fuel. but its only 97ron i think
-
I often use sainsburys as its so cheap. and yes its 97ron.

Still gotta be better than any 95 I guess.

Shel VPower in the UK is 99 RON.

Tesco 99 is usually about the same price as Sainsbury's super unleaded in my area (East London/Ilford)
....but you get 2 additional ron for your money

Last time I filled a car with Tesco Super was my old 911.....
shortly after receiving said tank of said fuel.... I had to shell out £700 to have the fuel injection fixed.... as it lost all power at 3000RPM.
Coincidence or not, I'll only put V-Power in the GTI, VR6 and the Splitty now....

I've been filling up with Tesco 99 since I got my GTI about 5 weeks ago.
But you've got me a little worried!
Anyone else had any probs with Tesco 99?

Zero, been running all my mk5 GTi's on Tesco 99.

I tend to use Sainsbury's Super Unleaded when I cazn't be asked to drive up to a Shell garage for the good old V-Power.
Sainsbury's Super unleaded is RON 97... and in my neck of the woods Shell V-Power is actually cheaper.
Gotta be V-Power :driver:
