I pulled into the local Tesco filling station the other day on the other side of the pump from a McLaren, obviously they were feeling the pinch! Perhaps like me they were putting an additive in to compensate.

I suspect they were filling up with Tesco Momentum 99 RON.

Best of the super unleaded fuels in my opinion - my Impreza loves it.

Weird, as my Impreza is terrible on Shell, especially when cold.

Always used Teco petrol or diesel in every car I've owned, never had a fuel related issue and never felt any difference on the odd occasion I've had to fill up elsewhere.
