Tesco's is certainly cheaper (and as the Mrs keeps telling me you get clubcard points ). I just got fed up with the Shell garage ripping us off still by charging over £1 a litre still for their Optimax (when I last went in )

Good luck

It might be worth sticking a question up in general tech to see if the 'experts 'have a view .There seems to be plenty of threads about Tesco's 99 and I can't find any nightmare stories .

Either 96 or 98p (I can't remember which) I just feel Holdings rip us off . Then again you could always get double ripped off at the old Q8 in Latchigdon ...do they still do super in there now its Texaco ??

Just to report back, the Scoob seems to love the Tesco's 99 stuff , seems to go better and it seems that I've got nearly another 2 mpg out of it too
