RE: Tesco launches high octane fuel
Discussion

Tesco have a 25% stake in Greenenergy Fuels. This Company imports bio-ethanol from Brazil to blend with its 95 and 99 octane petrol sold in the South East. How green is shipping the bio-ethanol from Brazil to its Thames estuary plant, one wonders?!
Tesco also adds 5% Bio-diesel to its Tesco diesel. Tesco is doing this for commercial reasons, not for environmental reasons as Tesco receives a grant from the Government to add 5% Bio-fuel to all of its Diesel and to petrol sold in the South East. No wonder the big boys - BP, ESSO, Shell and Texaco are up in arms over Tesco's "subsidy" from the Government!

Who cares if its green or not, its damn good and its cheaper than the competition. Use it! Makes our Astra Sri 200 the car it should be - quite frankly is was a bit crap before, never had the low end I expected and always needed winding up - it was such a bind. Now it hauls like a train.Tesco also adds 5% Bio-diesel to its Tesco diesel.

Have not read all the threads, but it HAS been tested:-

If you can't be bothered to read it all, it beat Optimax and Ultimate over months of testing, and by a significant margin that can be felt, not just recorded.

Does the Tesco stuff have engine-cleaning properties as claimed by Optimax (and proved to some degree in an evo test some time ago)?
This is what I want to know as well.
