Some people from the Mlr have tried the Tesco's 99 Ron fuel and found it to be better compared to optimax.

They are ment to be rolling it out around all their uk petrol shops.

We have also been told that Esso are doing test's on their petrol Premium I think it was called and the lowest result was 98.6. But they haven't released any details on this fuel as they are not happy with 98.6 result they want a steady 99 or higher.
