99 Ron

[D3S]

Not sure if i should post here or not Anyway i am going say my little....Recently i had some really crappy boost issues so i replaced all the rats nest and some of the solonoids which did the trick after some tinkering and advice from you guys. So today i filled up with 99 ron fuel at Tescos.

OMG what a difference, the car is soo much smoother and alot more pokey, it pulls like a train and i have always used Opti but i have to say Tescos fuel is alot better. Go try it if you can find a garage that sells it, you wont look back

Colchester can be added to the list, was never listed on the site but deffo sells it as I often buy it

Oh my God, said in any way you please. :wiggle

 Banbury Tesco\'s is on the list fantastic.  :yes
That will be me not complaining about a trip to Banbury anymore then.
( Well I will if I don\'t need fuel,  :bandit  Stupid boy Pike you drive an FD it always needs fuel--true! But who cares it\'s fun. ) :burnout

I use the Wellingborough Tesco quite alot, and haven\'t noticed 99 petrol. Maybe it is a very recent addition? Should be, they\'d probably make a fortune considering how close it is to Santa Pod!
Anyway, I did read that a Tesco at Weston Favel has the 99 stuff  - which is half way between Northampton and Wellingborough. Maybe this is the station that is referd to as the Wellingborough one.

Reading Tescos sell it too!

Definately Weston Favel Tesco sell the 99RON stuff. 98.9p (compared to 100.9 for Optimax at the local Shell).

Out of interest, since no other petrol chain seems to sell anything higher than 98RON, any ideas who supplies Tesco 99RON?

I wouldn\'t have thought you would feel any difference between 98 and 99 RON?

99 has a slightly higher resistance to knock/det , but can you guys really say that you can feel the car drives better?

[DreXeL]

It probably has a higher calorific value than Optimax. Higher calorific value = more power. Opti has quite a low calorific value compared to super unleaded, as it is basically modified normal unleaded.

[Trevrx]

That\'s interestin drex,
So if 98ron Optimax is modified unleaded then what is 97ron super unleaded to have more energy?
Is it true to say the higher the octane rating the lower the calorific value? So Tesco 99 would be lower than Opti 98?  
Have you got any info on specific calorific values of opti, super, tesco?
Cheers
