I'm not sure if its better to be honest, has anyone seen a difference? Apart from in the bank as its loads cheaper.

[J.j.]

One of my mate with a N/A MR-2 claimes he get better MPG with Optimax.....

[Rixio]

Well...still saves me driving 4 miles there and 4 miles back to fill a tank of Optimax

[J.j.]

Has anyone one done mapping with the tesco 99 ron? Is it really as good as they claimed it to be. Was really surprised when he told me that there was a noticeable decrease in MPG.

[dre]

I use Tesco's 99ron and prefer it over the Optimax stuff.

[J.j.]

dre, got your car mapped yet? Was it mapped on 99 ron? What did JayDee said? :guinness

[Kieron]

With the MR2 the ECU has a self learn mode that adaps to different fiuels so he probably would get better MPG.

But he actually got less MPG out of it. That's why I was wondering if it's actually as good as we thought it was.

[Rixio]

How much is 99 ron anyway? iv heard 3p-6p cheaper than Optimax? I used to pay 94.7p for Optimax, normal tesco is 86.9p

[McCARTHY]

i have found that £20 of optimax lasts longer than £20 tesco 99. I think optimax burns better ........ just mt opinion

Hasn't been mapped properly yet. A better map was put in a while back and checked up to 6,000rpm with 0.5 bar boost just for running in the engine. It did have Tesco's 99 ron fuel in it.

I use to swear by Optimax when i had my twins but have tried it again and found that i had poor fuel economy and the car didn't feel as good to drive under boost. Now with the Tesco's 99 ron I find that i can get 85-100 miles to £30 of fuel which is not bad considering it's a bridge ported motor with a single turbo! And that is a mixture of around town driving, cruising and driving with boost!! :3gears-rh

[J.j.]

Cheers dre
:guinness

[dre]

No problem mate :wiggle

Should be getting mapped in a couple of weeks time, then fuel economy will be out of the window on WOT!! :3gears-lh

Rixio - Tesco's 99 ron was 91.9 last time i filled up :driving

[Freddy]

Hopefully the plan is to start servicing the Northwest soon. :Talking1

[Steve Burnett]

Not one place in Scotland, thats a joke!
Not like we have anything to do with the oil industry eh!!!
Aberdeen is the oil capital of Europe.

[probedb]

Woo, woo, end of Feb for me, but at least I don't have to make the trek all the way out to the Shell garage :D

[Initial-D]

Yay like three places I can go too!!
I'll have to spend the money saved on a Feed key ring or something lol!

[Rixio]

[Ada7]

BTTT, the Tesco Extra between the A49 and Chorley now stocks 99ron. Hopefully Leyland and other tescos will follow suit ! Guy behind counter said they weren't bothering advertising the fact that they had 99 in, buggers !!!!!

Does feel better, and my knock readings seemed to be better than the 97ron stuff from texaco that i usually use !

Shaun

[Rixio]

I use it, find i much better over Shell. BP seems to backfire a shiitload though :Giggle

99 Ron price went up by 4p last week! Its now 94.9p used to be 91.6p! Optimax is the same price!!!

[gsb876]

God damn closest to me is in Chesterfield ????

About 30 miles away :2Mad

[Adriansturgess]

Mechanic I know advised against using Tesco fuel as they mix together whatever they can get cheapest at the time? Don't know if this is really true mind! He also reckons just about every customer coming to him with water in the fuel tank kind of problems is a Tesco customer....so I've always steered clear. 99 Ron sounds good though, but why are they doing it when most cars don't need it anyway?

[andrewrx7]

A Waitrose near us had 98 or 99ron (can't remember which) fuel recently. Was a bit surprised since it seems only Shell and Tesco get mentioned for higher RON rated fuel.
