does anyone know what the diffrence between v power and tesco 99 i know in wales tesco cheaper but i only use v power is tesco 99 any good to try that bp ultimate is crap i just dont know if it worth trying any info would be great ta

From what I can gather the V power will have better additive/detergent levels apart from that I don't know...

My R loves the V power, returns more miles to the gallon too, The car actually feels faster on the bumometer though,

I think Tesco fuel is a bioethanol mix?

My car wasn't happy on it at all at first but then settled down after 10 or so miles...

Sorry to hijack your forum, I used to have a T4 but now own a modified Impreza, and I would always use shells V power over anything else. This is a constant debate on Impreza forums.

The majority of Subaru drivers use V power, bp ultimate is rubbish and I doubt Tesco or any other place will be as good either.

The ethanol is the good thing as it also cools the combustion process and helps maintain power the down side is the increased fuel consumption see link for fuel spec. A search for info would have saved you time as there is a few threads on this subject although I still can't find the spec for V Power wonder why? :)

As i said before, my R loves the V Power, it is returning 25.2 mpg at the moment, i have done 330 miles in the car with 3 gallons remaining, with the Tesco 99 i would be lucky to get 310 out of a full tank.

i too get better mpg from v-power over 99 ron....:)

After reading what you guys say about the 'v-power' fuel, I decided to try it in my V70 10v, which is an absolute flying machine (NOT).
I noticed that it ran much smoother and I believa a little quicker. Most importantly, approx 10 percent increase in M.P.G. In my mind, this is worth the extra outlay to fill the tank. Thanks for the info.:Banane59:
