I use momentum in my Cupra. Runs nice. I would like to put V-Power in but it’s horrendously expensive here. Tesco regular is 1.27, momentum is 1.34 and V-Power is 1.52!!
What's shell nitro+?Logged Stage 2 APR file on both Momentum 99 and Shell Nitro+
Momentum 99 was pulling a lot more timing than Nitro+

Get the shell app too, they are always offering bonuses if you fill up with V-power.That’s a rip off. V Power is £1.34 where I live and I regularly get a voucher for 7 or 8p of a litre which drops the price to around 1.27/1.28p per litre.

It would pull more timing with momentum 99 as its 99 RON over Shell's 97 or 98 (can't remember)
Octane is an inhibitor which allows the compression to be higher before the fuel detonates (pre ignition / pinking) which is bad for the engine. In order to over come detonation the timing is advanced to send the spark to ignite the fuel before it detonates..
Higher octane means that the compression can get higher and therefore the timing retarded to suit.
In my experience working at Lubrizol. Shell used the better of our additive packs. It might not do much in terms of performance due to fuel composition, but it has the better engine cleaning compounds in it meaning increased performance in the long term.Shell is 99 as well.

How does Texaco stack up with additive packages? I just use the standard 95 stuff.In my experience working at Lubrizol. Shell used the better of our additive packs.

I get better fuel consumption when using V-power compared to any other premium fuel. I have not used Tesco's premium fuel though.
Already use it. That’s what I get my 7p and 8p off vouchers. At the moment I’ve got a £1.50 voucher which equates to 4p off with my usually tank refill.
I've got a £1.60 voucher... but my local is still closed!!
How far to the next one?
Fuel can go off and loose RON over time. If possible always get it from a busy station otherwise you paying for 98 and getting lower.8 miles I think... it looks like the garage off Hills have Eyes... but they have a V-Power pump at the back with the old analogue style counter on it. My concern being the amount of cobwebs on the nozzle.
