    If your car is remapped its even more critical that you run 99RON fuel.

    Ive heard mixed things about Tesco 99. I rated it quite highly in my ED30, but after speaking extensively to a REVO tuner and Carl at REVO I'm not so sure now. (unless they are both receiving commissions) From what I can gather, Tesco 99 is just 95RON with additives to make it ~99RON (similar to using octane booster). Also it appears that Vpower is very consistent, where as the Tesco 99 is hit and miss with regards to RON rating.

    when i was fiddling with the ECU on mine i ran a couple tanks on vpower and then tesco and checked the timing correction by the ECU, less timing correction on tescos for mine

    Tesco 99 or Vpower for me, i find that a mix of the both seems to work well.[:s]
