i know some people are going to turn their noses up at this but i've been using Tesco super since Jan/Feb this year. It makes a noticable difference over any other super in both midrange and top end. Other people i've convinced to give it a try have been impressed too - especially people with turbos. Same octane as V. Give it a go and let me know what you think.
I use Tesco 99 Super too, seems fine to me, no noticeable difference to V-Power and is always 2p a litre cheaper. But the 99 Ron Version is only available in some areas of the country.....Its 97 Ron everywhere else.

That's the only problem with Tesco: unless you know from prior visits, you never know if they'll have 97 or 99.
You know a Shell station will have V-Power.

They did a test on 5th gear or some motorshow about high octane fuel a bit ago - BP, V-power, Tesco....if I can remember correctly they said its better to go to a filling station which has a constant flow of people filling up (fuel not sitting there in the tank) because its fresh. I used to use/still do on odd times v-power, but I use tesco most of the time - cheaper and you get the points! 'every little helps'
