fuel grades

I use Shell Nitro unleaded in my M4, what is the equivalent grade for Esso, BP and Texaco please (on the assumption that I cannot find a Shell station)?

Their 'super', which will be anything from 97Ron to 99Ron. Some BP stations have/had an even higher octane of 'Ultimate'. Texaco 'Cleansystem' super was good in the past. Esso claims lots of cleaning additives in its Super. Even Tesco does 99Ron 'Momentum'. But Shell V-Power is the best.
