Tesco momentum
« on: February 15, 2011, 09:37:26 pm »
Anyone running with tescos 99ron? Always used v-power but thought I'll give it a go filled up from empty and doesn't seem to be any worse off performance wise than v power.

Going to do some logs soon to compare to v power

Bonus with momentum is spend over £50 on shopping with tesco and get 5p per litre Off

ive used it for a while now and cant tell no difference to the v-power,  i bought a few things off tesco direct recently and got 6 quids worth of vouchers through the post, so thats 6 quid off my next fill up :jumpmove:

theres savings to be made with the 5p off offer and the clubcards too

I've recently gone back to Momentum from V-Power as it's closer to me. Can't tell the difference performance wise.

Much prefer Tesco's Clubcard point system to Shell's, at least they actually send you the vouchers.

This has come up several times before.

When living down south, I had the luxury of both. Tended to use Tescos when I couldn't be arsed to get cash for the Shell garage. T99 gave better mpg but V-power made the car feel more aggressive.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

Comment by a professional tech/mech:

"The supermarket diesel is a nightmare. One of the main reasons most people are suffering with repeated egr faults due to the fuel not burning as well and carboning up everything. My mate runs a 206 gti 180 and every 2 weeks he would have to clean his tailpipes because of soot. He asked my opinion, I blamed fuel. Turned out he was using Tescos fuel. Told him to run something good. Has never cleaned the pipes since and says it is has a lot more torque. He was amazed by how much difference it made."

Okay, that's for diesel but [< my error]. Personally I'm not inclined to trust supermarket fuel and V-Power has some healthy additives.

Little bit conflicting as the 206 GTI 180 isn't a diesel it was a 2.0l petrol.  I guess they are just quoting lack on complete combustion, is this a personal quote or was this from another source?  Mainly out of interest.  I get black sooting on my pipes with Vpower but I guess that is the oil and un burnt fuel that a catch can should trap, do you get much on your quad pipes robin as I know you have a catch can.
