Have you noticed Tesco are starting to sell 97 RON?

[Roadrunner_1]

The last two fills I have done at Tesco recently in Redditch and Loughborough have only sold Tesco Super 97 RON fuel not the usual 99. Are Tesco making a change to 97 RON?

Why do some garrages seem to sell 97 whilst others sell 99?

Thanks

mine has sold it for a while, they have some pumps with 99 and some with 97, most with 95 obviously.

not sure if they're changing, i bet the 97 is a half and half mix of 99 and 95!!! haha!

we should count ourselves lucky, i was in the states recently and my uncles porsche caymen is being run on 87-89 a shtats their premium!!!

Yeah but I bet he only pays about 30p a litre! I know which I would rather

I bet a local Shell garage has just closed. My theory is that Tescos only sell 99 when there is a competing Shell garage selling V-Power close by. So...no Shell, no 99 at Tesco.

I lived in the USA for four years and I think it's cheaper to run a car in the UK? I lived in Manhattan, NY and my car insurance was $3000 a year, we had an EZ Pass which was for tolls on bridges and most highways and interstates. And don't forget that you had to travel a lot further to get anywhere!!!

I once drove from NYC to Utah just to ride my bike for a couple of days, it took me three days to drive there!!!

Tesco in Kingston park, Newcastle used to sell the RON 97 then removed it all and Replaced it with RON 99! Big Smile from me when they did

Think Loughborough Tesco has always been 95 and 97 only

When I'm down at parents in Portsmouth, i fill up with 99 Ron then

Not sure why it is not sold in more places as i reckon alot of people would buy it
