Went into Tescos the other night in Blandford, (Dorset) to get ordinary unleaded.............. came away with a tank full of 99 Ron in the RS4, cant say I noticed much difference on the 48 miles home, usually use super with millers in it so much of a muchness............... did try and get some in Bath, they only have 97 ron super............. at 99.9p/ltr :roll:
