must use super at all times!!, if normal is used it will retard the fuelling making it run lean which will result in melt down over a period of time

Tesco 99 for me - seems to run my near on 400bhp monster of an FRS without any probs - car actually runs better on the Tesco '99 compared to when trying to map it on v-power

My car seems to run equally well on either V-Power or Tesco 99, but I do get about 15 miles extra out of a tank of V-Power.
