Tesco momentum 99

**lurchio2** · Sunday 3rd July 2011, 15:01

I put Tesco momentum 99 in my 2000 t4 the other day. And it started stuttering under any acceleration. Went back to shell v power and it's perfect again. Anyone else had that problem?

Nope...use it all the time now

Bad pint?

**claymore** · Sunday 3rd July 2011, 16:20

My car hates it, every time I put it in it starts to misfire under load

My V70 was run on it a few times and i dont remember it ever being a problem

i ran my 940 on it a few times didnot perform like v power does nor did the car perform too well on bp ultamit ether eventhough i did pull the 13.9 on it.

**lurchio2** · Sunday 3rd July 2011, 20:27

That's what confused me. Both 99 Ron but ran bad on tesco

I have gone from V Power over to Momentum, only because the Shell is another 6p a litre on top than the Tesco,
Car has been running fine on it, even at 24psi today in the hot temps.

My 850 with Rica 280 likes tesco better than shell - but prices not t hat different in Eastville Bristol and I can NOT stand teh queues and dickheads at Tesco,

Live is seriously too short to save a penny a litre.

There was a thread on volvoforums from a retired tanker driver who was adament that supermarket fuel, irrespective of RON, doesn't have the same additives that branded fuel does. Truth, or fiction???!!!

I think that one of the suposed benifits of shell, bp, etc. They say that they have additives that make it better for the engine.
I think its true or they would be done for false advertising, as i'm sure a car mag would have looked into this.

5th gear checked it with on a derv with supermarket fuel againest shell and bp high grade drv and regular

**scoobysn7x** · Tuesday 5th July 2011, 04:09

the last few months I've been running my T4 on momentum with no problems at all, the cars runs just as well as it did on Vpower and I get better MPG from the momentum than I was getting on the V power, and I'm saving about 4-5p a litre on the momentum...

I run mine on cheap unleaded from various sources although the engine is standard. Am I missing out on something or just not spending as much on fuel as you guys?
