Default Tesco do 99 Octane Petrol

Bloody slough! Cant find a shell garage anywhere, All the BP garages only do ultimate diesel!

But the new slough tescos sell 99 octane super unleaded little over 90p a litre! Filled up this morning.

Shame they dont do it in romford.

lol yeh its a weird tesco. The trolleys are wicked, they automatically apply brakes when you go up the escillator and if you try to nick em they lock up when you go past the red line!

I cant stay in there for too long though, the lights are so bright in there!

Sunil_FiestaRS1800, cheers m8y, I think I know where you mean.
