Exclamation Tesco 99 Ron

Thought you guys may be interested in this info regarding Tesco 99 ron fuel:




Tesco 99 Octane

Thorney Motorsport have carried out independent tests on Tesco 99 Octane,
BP Ultimate & Shell Optimax. The results are staggering. Their report
reads:

"The test data shows the car running on 95 octane fuel (we used a local
Total
petrol station for consistency) and the jump in power and torque when
changing
to either Shell Optimax or BP Ultimate is quite significant. However what
we
also found was there was another jump when changing to the Tesco 99 Octane
fuel . The peak power figures measured were also telling:

95 Octane Fuel* ******* 177.3bhp
Shell Optimax * ******* 180.1bhp
BP Ultimate *** ******* 182.5bhp
Tesco 99 Octane ******* 185.4bhp

So switching from 95 octane fuel to Tesco 99 Octane gave an extra 8.1bhp
(almost 5%). As well as these peak gains the charts show a clear
improvement
throughout the rev range

So, the bottom line? Using Tesco 99 Octane fuel will make your car
powerful. It
will feel faster, accelerate faster and perform better. If you’re going to
tune your
car at least give it the best fuel it can run on and in our opinion, based
on
extensive testing that fuel is Tesco 99 Octane."

I'm particularly pleased with 99 Octane. Differentiating a petrol offer is
never easy
*- we have done it and beaten a number of the world's biggest
multinationals to it.
Credit must go to the guys at Greenergy - they have put in great effort to
get this
launched and a success. Our sponsorship of the British Rally Championship
has
also been a great advert for the fuel.
