TBH ive run in a few tanks of momentum now (5p off per litre) from ma's shopping cos v-power around my way is touching £1.48/49 a litre compared to the £1.39 of momentum

Anywho id just like to state that ive noticed a fair few more miles per tank with no power loss when boosting! Ill still treat her to a tank or two of v-power when ive had a bit more overtime.


Every little helps.

I never use tesco for fuel. I remember reading somewhere that the fuel was of poor quality compared to the likes of shell etc. May be a load of horse sh*t but never took the risk.
Always like to run the car on the fuel it was mapped on too, probably pointless but just one of those things I have always done.

As you suggest, it's a load of horse sh"t that Momentum is crap.

Spec is below:

Not had a problem around here luckily, I filled up with vpower yesterday. I wouldn't run mine on anything but vpower because that's what it was mapped for. I put momentum in my M3 and didn't notice any difference though, on 95 you can hear it pinking low down but none of that on momentum.

Tesco did get a bad batch last year I believe. It was in the papers, cars were cutting out all over. Not sure if it was the super though.
