Super Unleaded 99 Ron Launch

[arnbeckett]

Our store Spar Loughbrickland has launched a new grade of fuel, Solo Super99

I have a GTR at stage 4.25 with 3 Ecutek maps based on fuel Ron (95,97,99) as we can't get 99 in N.I and I can't run full power we set about sourcing it ourselves, it is 97Ron with an Exocet additive blended to produce 99.

I see the Super Unleaded thread raise its head from time to time so wanted to make the community aware of the new 99 available.

Brilliant! What’s the current price per litre?

 

[Cro]

At least we know where the next RMS outing is going to

Yes should have said currently 149.9

Seems a bargain that. Hope it sells well for you

Thank you!

 

[Cossers]

Not far away, ill
Give it a blast

 

[Christopher]

great! will fill any time i'm passing through

 

[Eager]

Awesome it’s available.
However unless a car is actually tuned for it it will not give much benefit.

 

[Nickyyy]

Is it based on e5 or e10?

 

[Boydie]

Cheaper than BP Ultimate - I have switchable maps so could run this fuel if it was more local

 

[arnbeckett]

Is it based on e5 or e10?

It is E5 and will continue to be even when we change next year, Super Unleaded is to remain E5 everywhere I believe.

 

[chrisdromore]

Great stuff !

 

[Tufty]

It would be worth a spin out every weekend to fill up thanks for sorting that out.

Genuine question but if that’s the case, why do Tesco market it? Maybe they don’t even do it anymore, I have no idea. Very few cars (as far as I know anyway) must use 97ron but yet enough do to warrant most suppliers carrying it. Wonder why only Tesco went as far as 99? Or are there others? She’ll V power?

Take it you have never been to Loughbrickland……… 10 cars and it would be at a standstill

Not far from me so will take a spin out on the next fill which will probably be tomorrow

I'd imagine it would be good to use in a highly strung/tuned car even if it's only mapped for 97. It would allow a bit of wiggle room

Tesco were just trying to copy Shell with their V-Power.

Good news this, every time I bring a car over from England I am having to use 97 with an octane booster.

You've haven't heard any rough date in the new year when the E10 is coming into the terminals?

 

[gav525]

Great news, and handy enough to me as well!

 

[arnbeckett]

I haven't yet, but I'll throw up a post when I do.

 

[Christopher]

got some on saturday and going by the JB4 logs, the car is liking it much better!

 

[Dieseldes]

Not to pee on anyone's chips, but how can it make sense to import such small quantities of this into Northern Ireland? I would doubt it's real 99. Surely a mix up somewhere.
