I put Ultimate in on the way back and there doesn't seem much difference. I have found that V-Power seems to have a bit more of a punch, Momentum lasts longer and Jury is still out on the Ultimate.

By the way, I don't have a problem with the normal Tesco stuff, I have used it for years. I was just saying that the 99 stuff obviously (with the additives) seems to burn cleaner, hence why the MIL stays off when using these but comes back with the 95 stuff. I get points with Tesco and do a 56 mile round trip to work so I will stick with them probably using their Momentum. I didn't want to turn this into a which is better thread as that's been done to death lol

I was just commenting on how the 99 stuff apears to burn better, and my average MPG aint bad either if you look at my sig.

I found my camaro ran rather poorly on low octane fuel
But I have never noticed the difference with the zs

Mostly use momentum or it's predecessor for years, have running issues with 95 from tesco

Sainsburys super if I need fuel desperately

V power does give more punch for sure! Prefer it

Ultimate from bp, ok but don't rate it at all

Never noticed a difference in the 120. Last tank full of Morrisons fuel at 126.9 got me 510 miles, can't complain.

not joining the argument, but in my case no probs with Tesco. Use it in the Zed as I work literally next door to Tesco. So I never have to go out of my way to fill up.
When I go and see my daughter "uuuuup north" I go past a tesco so fill up, and when I get to her house, guess what, right next door......yep tesco. Would love to use V-Power, especially as a Ferrari fan i'd be using the stuff as them.

Yeah I go past a Shell garage on the way to work so if I am low I will pull in and use V-Power otherwise it's momentum

The ultimate that's in at the moment doesn't feel any different really, going to fill up in wroxham tomorrow morning with V-Power when I get my hair cut.
Not at the same time tho
