Does anyone know if the V Power is actually better than the old Optimax and what is best out of VPower and Tesco99

cars dont tend to take any more timing on v power from optimax

and we more favour towards v power than tesco's

theres about 2 degrees of timing between optimax and total super on mine

I have 40 litres of Tesco 99 in the boot (cue comments) and almost a tankfull. Hope there's not a shortage of the stuff as I'll be using a drop or two on Sunday.

As for BP Ultimate, it's crap IMO, light's the Knocklink like a Christmas tree :o

As for Optimax vs. Tesco 99. My car prefers the latter. I did try V Power but it 'seemed' to be less lively.

We've tried optimax and the car definately didn't like it... spluttered like crazy. Haven't tried Tesco 99, but the car seems happy with shell. Even then we still have to use CVL Turbo octane boost to keep her really happy.
