And use Shell V-Power or BP Ultimate in the AMG.
Don't use Tesco 99
Out of curiosity why? Are u saying specifically for the AMG?Don't use Tesco 99
Have not heard anything good about BP Ultimate tbh ( well for Subarus anyway ) .. Tesco 99 seems to get good reviews .
Edited to say BP Ultimate is 97 Ron if I recall ..so better off with V-Power ( 98 Ron ) or Tesco 99

Tesco 99 has more Ethanol content to bump the octane rating.
Depending on your tune, this may throw you off a bit as the AF ratio goes wrong.
On my supercharged engine, Tesco 99 is the worst performer. Shell V Power runs best.
What you need to do is try all 3 (BP, Shell, Tesco) and see what works best for you.

Nothing wrong with tesco 99!And use Shell V-Power or BP Ultimate in the AMG.
Don't use Tesco 99
Tesco 99 is supermarket blend 95 with higher content of ethanol and poorer quality/less detergents that are needed for modern HP engines.
BP Ultimate and Shell V-Power are much better quailty blends with better detergents.
Which of the two suits individual cars best is a matter of trial and error. Some car types run better on V-Power, other run better on Ultimate.

How sure are you? I thought both Vpower and Ultimate use Ethanol to increase their octane rating.Tesco 99 is supermarket blend 95 with higher content of ethanol and poorer quality/less detergents that are needed for modern HP engines.

""STOP PRESS
In the last issue of the newsletter we stated that Shell V-Power petrol was guaranteed not to contain ethanol. Just before this newsletter went to press we have discovered that this is no longer the case. Their statement says: ‘Shell, like many other fuel suppliers, has begun blending ethanol into some Unleaded grades, including Shell V-Power at Stanlow, to comply with the legal obligations of the RTFO’ (Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation)""
