Which petrol should I buy?

I have a high performance car and recently read an internet article regarding an extensive test for the best fuel.

Surprisingly, Tesco 99octane came out on top marginally beating the other two well known brands.

I have been using this for a cople of months and although the fuel consumption is no different, the performance is definitely better.

Anyone can write anything in the Internet. Try Shell V-Power instead and the additive will help reserve your fuel system. Tesco Momentum has the octane but lacks the Shell additive package.
