I've also heard it's BP. Dunno if the additives / detergents are the same though. Probably!  :smiley:

Tesco 99 is usually about the same price as Sainsbury's super unleaded in my area (East London/Ilford)

....but you get 2 additional ron for your money

Last time I filled a car with Tesco Super was my old 911.....

shortly after receiving said tank of said fuel.... I had to shell out £700 to have the fuel injection fixed.... as it lost all power at 3000RPM.

Coincidence or not, I'll only put V-Power in the GTI, VR6 and the Splitty now....

I've been filling up with Tesco 99 since I got my GTI about 5 weeks ago.

But you've got me a little worried!

Anyone else had any probs with Tesco 99?
