That's some cheap go go juice at circa 80p a litre. Includes momentum99 too from what I can see. :driver:

some of the item prices seem high compared to asda, ie the robinsons squash, two for £7, think it two for £4 at asda.

Edit: although do a full tank fill up, it can balance out.  :signLOL:

Theoretically fill up for 40 quid against 65 quid at normal prices. So how much are those items altogether?

It costs me about £75 to fill up the Assassin with V-Power.

probably a sponsoring issue?

i mean it's naive to think that Tesco have their own fuel refinery - they are clearly buying their fuel off someone and hence there's unlikely to be all that much difference between Momentum 99 and V-Power

and i say that having recently switched to 100% V-Power use (due to convenience)

thats without any doubt a sponsorship issue. 

Doesnt bother me, my car runs no different on either VPower or 99ron, i fill up at which ever one of the two garages is closest to me when i need fuel

Thorney's a massive douchebag, so I'd ignore that completely.

I don't use Tesco fuel because it's full of ethanol to boost the octane rating of the cheap and poor quality fuel they buy wholesale.

Maybe I'm being too cautious, but you're forever hearing about supermarket fuel knackering lambda sensors and eating the fuel system. Getting the blend wrong even by a very small amount has a quite bad effect.
Sideways yo!
