OK, here's the feed back from my mate, he drives a Vectra /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif SRi that's had a turbo bolted on /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Did a round trip to visit Cvan and various places around the west coast today, what can I say about the new fuel, well at first impression nothing in it compared to Optimax. But after a few hot accelerations the heat soak did not affect the performance at all, whereas perviously with Optimax I could certainly notice a drop in pull in the mid-range as the inlet temperature crept up (obviously Tesco's Finest 99 rocket fuel has the extra ability to supress pinking). Maybe it's all psychilogical and in my mind I don't really know, but certainly throughout the journey it seemed to pull just a little harder in the mid-range especially in the higher gears.
However what I did notice (and this is not exaggerated) was that my fuel consumption was massively better, I covered a total 310miles today with about 2 gallons left! (petrol light has'nt come on yet) so I should be getting a total of at least 360miles to a tank of 60 litres! Wow! and that was travelling at around 80mph with 80% motorway cruising 20% urban (and the occassional full-throttle blast). Before I could only get around 300miles and the light will just about come on, even Ang could'nt beleive it, nevertheless I will certainly be using this stuff from now-on just for this reason alone.
Hope it soon available for you peeps up in the Midlands
