Tesco's 99 RON
Any good for our RS's?
Only asking as it would seem to be a bit cheaper. Won't use it unless I'm 100% sure the cars can run on it properly without exploding the first time I give it some right foot (which is fairly frequently when I drive
)

A few people off the MLR have been using it in their evo's with good results - so i think the RS will be ok

Many Tesco's are getting rid of the 'LRP' pump and replacing them with a '99RON' pump.....
That's what they have done up the road from me

LOL at Rocket Fuel...all the higher RON means is that its more resistant to detonation. The power comes from being able to advance your ignition/run higher compression ratio etc
