V-Power '99' or Momentum 99
Until a Costco fuel station is built at my local Costco branch I only use these two fuels.Bp and Esso and Texaco only offer 97 ron in their premium fuels so are no good to me and other strange named stations I don't bother with.
It's been said that v power has so much detergents in it that all your getting is 98 ron so I've been using momentum with added red ex every second tank and it felt good when I switched from Shell.The CEL came on as soon as I put in momentum but promptly went out,the ecu no doubt getting used to the new nitro What do you guys use keeping in mind these motors need MINIMUM 98ron. |

Red Ex is a fuel additive,red in colour that I add with every second fill up.Cleans off the carbon in the combustion chambers and valves with protection for your fuel system,the makers also claim it keeps emissions down.

Found out there are only THREE premium fuels in UK that are rated at 99 RON.
Tesco Momentum 99, V-Power 99 (or so they say but why isn't the RON content on pump?) and Costco 99.Unfortunately the nearest Costco fuel is too far from me at Thurrock..know it's from Mobil and good stuff. |

I've heard people say that most oils are from the same "tub" aswell but I don't believe that either.

Fuel additives come and go but Redex has been around since the sixties I've read and still going strong, it's the biggest seller not just to the golden oldies. You must have read what hydro-lock in an injector can do to an M5 engine...
