I think by labelling their stuff as V-Power without an octane rating, they feel they are able to push the price up as there's nothing to compare it with.

It's got 99 RON on the pump, hasn't it?

Sainsbury's SUL is typically 2p more per litre than 95 RON.

I'm not sure. I remember checking last time I got some and couldn't see it on the pump.

And if it is, it's the only one that claims to be 99RON is it not?

In Germany I bought V-Power 95.
I then bought Shell superdoopersomething 100RON.

The latter was 1.53 Euro FFS!

Fuel is cheaper here than France, Belgium and Germany BTW.
