Default Tesco 99 RON fuel?

I know this was mentioned at the last SE meet, but does anyone know which stations have this fuel? Or a link to a website as I cannot find anything on tesco.com....?

TIA

Christer,

I've never heard anything about 99RON by supermarkets in the UK - any further info?

I used Shell V-Racing 100 Octane in Europe earlier in the summer and did notice a small difference in performance over standard optimax (mid range acceleration). Then again i may have been kidding myself having paid the premium over standard Eurosuper fuel!!

There was a list I think on Pistonheads. I'll have a look.

I treated the '90 C4 with a tank over the weekend (from Bedford), and it felt better than Optimax.

Ah, although I don't need the stuff I just couldn't help but mention...........

The Tesco at Sandhurst is..... maybe 1.5 miles from my house? I think I'll put some in the Porsche, my bike and the Focus tomorrow.............

Up North? Rossendale? ... sorry but you're still a southerner to me

Fat chance of McTesco stocking it in Inverness I suppose!
