Total Excelium 97 or Tesco Momentum or Esso 97?
« on: April 04, 2012, 07:17:07 pm »
In the continued absence of V Power, which is best of this bad bunch? I'm at Stage 1.

Tesco Momentum

Total Excellium 97

Esso's effort, whatever that's called.

Tesco Momentum is hardly part of a bad bunch imo... :confused:

99 Ron same as V Power so as good as V Power and a better choice than the Total/Esso offerings..

As said tesco momentum is 99 ron.  Some tests i have seen have showed better results than v power. All depends on vehicle i suppose.

I thought I was bad having paid £1.50 for the pleasure on Friday.

Is the Tesco stuff much cheaper?

I switched to tesco as v power was 1.49, tesco was 1.43 and i cant see any difference in performance. My old RS actually ran better on momentum.

been to my usual feeding station all week 6.30am but no v power in so on my travels today (wagon driver) I noticed a shell garage without the dreaded signs up   Gorton Manchester area    Not happy at all but my tanks are full now  :grin:

Tesco 99 for me, have a station 2 miles from work. Its on average 5p per litre cheaper than v-power and even better that i get regular clubcard vouchers through that i can spend again on fuel.
