So better fuel will not help with more power to a standard coupe but will keep engine in a cleaner state? Correct, but you can get more power when re-mapping with a super unleaded than a normal unleaded, but would only be a few bhp more

I've never tried the Tesco fuel, mainly because there is no big Tescos near me (amazing in the South East). My nearest supermarkets are Morrisons and Asda; Asda is a huge store but does not sell fuel.
I drive past a Shell garage every day, which is why I use V-Power. I will try the Tesco fuel sometime

Mines mapped by flea on v-power so use it unless im going to run out and only options a petrol station with just normal 95ron fuel. BP ultimate its so much more expensive than there normal unleaded i never use it! With fuel prices increasing many people will be tempted to use std unleaded but if mapped dont! higher risk of detonation and as bigbie has shown even on a std coupe super/omtimax/vpower or whatever you want to call it has its benefits.

Always get my petrol delivered by THESE guys! I'm not sure about this: "Ordering from us is safe and easy! Just enter the desired quantity of the fuel you need, and we'll package it up and send it to you in the post, first class, delivered straight through your letterbox. No hassle. No worries." Just hope it isn't followed with a lit match or anything. Excellent site.

Just hope it isn't followed with a lit match or anything.  Does look good though, although doesn't seem to be letting me order anything at the moment  60 litres of 95 ron at 60p a litre = £36  £36 to pretty much fill up the Coupe - will be excellent if the site lets me order  Dont know if I fancy 60 litres through the letterbox though

Well start off small then with their affiliate programme: What's better is that there's no minimum commission amount - even if you sell just 1 litre of fuel, we'll send you 20ml at the end of the month in a jiffy bag. So that clears that up then, they don't just poke a hose through your letterbox and pump it in, they pop it in a jiffy bag! Nice!

Excellent stuff  : (comments from the about us section of the site) Just in case you are an American, or possibly drive a car made by Suzuki (except for the new snazzy new Swift), we will spell the purpose of Petrol Direct out to you in simple terms. This is a spoof. A parody. We do not sell petrol or any other fuels, and certainly not plutonium or antimatter. Sorry. This site is strictly for laughs only. I think it's shocking - sending petrol is the post is incredibly dangerous!

i always say buy the best you can afford..i vote for tesco 99 good stuff.. although i only use 95 from anywhere. iv found esso keep hold of fuel the longest in storage. loosing octane.
i feel the cleaning that 99 does has no effect as everything is working against it anyway. engine wear,coking, ahh what am i talking about. go to the petrol station with your wallet and buy what you want.
