I always fill up at tesco, thought that was the highest ron out of all the super unleaded fuels, is vpower a better one to go for???
I promised my self when i got the scoob that i would never worry about petrol as i knew it would drink like biatch,

Every time i fill it up i say to myself, right, lets see how many miles you can get by driving it sensibly until the whole tanks gone,(yeah right!), but it never happens, lol

Most of it is tax and vat so i dont think the government would ever give up or reduce something that makes so much money

Tesco used to be the higher ron when it came out but there the same now.

Yep, V power used to be 97Ron but its now 99Ron same as Tesco...

I use either Tesco or V Power, don't have a local Shell and pointless running miles for it, when Tesco is just down the road..
