YEP!!!

I use it all the time, and have done for 3 years ... tried Tescos last week and have gone back!!

87p is too good a price for such quality - and I get 35mpg out of it!

Buy it and don't look back!!

Make your own .... get some flashing Red, Green and Orange LEDs from your local £ shop - glue them to your dashboard and there we go.

About as much use - but, much, much cheaper!!

It also impresses your mates down at the loacl MacDonalds .... which, if we are all honest, is the main reason these things are bought!!

86.9p for 97 RON petrol. It really is foolish to go anywhere else, for that price.

By the way, Pete - I find it odd that someone who spends nearly all his time as Scoobynet's James Randi, debunking myths of every kind, would bother putting super unleaded in a car that is clearly ok to be run on normal unleaded.

I actually 'feel' the difference .......................

AND, the mpg figure is 35 as opposed to 25 with NUL - everything in my life needs to earn it's position ...... including the petrol!

Cocklinks are just toys for chavs .....

Used Sainsburys Super for past year without fault. The only downer is Tesco 99 RON gives another 20 or so mpg per tank. But then Tesco in York only do 95 RON

It's petrol, it's 97RON and it meets the same BSI standard as all other 97 RON petrol and comes from the same refrinaries.

If its a UK spec car it has to be capable of running on 95RON. It will run on Sainsbury's SUL for ever.

You pays your monies and takes your choice.

Used Optimax for UKPPP Classic for almost 1 year but prices put me off still 9.49p in my area.

Since switched to Sainsburys SUL @ 8.69p and havent noticed any
difference in performance and its returning around 28mpg

Thats why I like it soooooo much then!

Just worked out my mpg on Sainsburys Super after the TESCO disaster ..... 31mpg - not bad, for cold weather - that is.

Summer gives me 36-40mpg .... but I'll settle for 31mpg in winter

Sorted .... and 87p!!

Buy anything else and you are burning money!!

I used Sainsbury super unleaded in my JDM 'Wagon the other day and it was fine. Its a small turbo'd lower boost engine of course; and I was driving like an old lady because the car didnt have any registration plates.....

New Labour are to blame for falling petrol prices ......

In exactly the same way they were to blame for the rising prices ......

The truth is that the TAX take on petrol has dropped along with the price .....

New Labour, Mr Blair and Brown ... we salute you
