Texaco Supreme 99

[Noesph]

Has anyone else noticed that Texaco is selling a 99 octance fuel now too? I haven't seen any adverts for it, it just seems to have appeared.

I haven't tried it yet (I only spotted it today, my nearest local shop is a Texaco / Co-op store. I walked there for a bottle of milk). But I'll think I'll give it ago on my next fill up.

I've never tried Texaco fuel though.

(I was a bit worried about posting this, I've been on PH long enough to see how fuel threads normally go. But it might help out someone who needs high octane petrol and lives near a Texaco garage).

Texaco 97 super has always been the cheapest super unleaded around, 4p or so a litre more than 95 near me, I suppose it's too much to ask that the 99 stays like that.

When I had a CBR125 (tiny motorbike alongside my ZZR1100) my mate and I used to go racing at 71/72 mph for laughs (him on his Varadero 125 twin). On Texaco 97 both bikes were noticeably faster than on any other fuel.

Purely anecdotal, but I look forward to putting their 99 in something decent.

Thanks for the heads up I'll try it next time I need to fuel a motorcycle.

It's great for lawnmowers too.

That's interesting to know as a back-up option, especially if it isn't stupidly more expensive than regular unleaded as Shell and Esso seem to be!

My nearest filling station is a Tesco so I use Momentum 99 RON because my car ideally wants 98+, and Tesco only seem to charge 7p a litre more for Momentum than for Regular.

But now and again I need to fill up away from home so that's another alternative.

There’s a Texaco local to me, when I’m not in Leeds. Used it last week, this is good news.

A bit of a thread revival. But I've using it for the last 2 months. It feels very much like Esso supreme.

Apparently it has no ethanol in it either. It was pricey yesterday though at £1.81 a litre.

(And personally, the Texaco garage is 0.2 miles away from my house. Tesco and Esso are about a 8 miles round trip. Shell is a 10 mile round trip).

Texaco describe it as an E5 fuel, no mention of zero ethanol.:

Esso supreme is described as E5 aswell but they say this is upto 5% and in most cases contains none at all.
