I seem to remember some while back that the fuel from Costco was the same as Tesco, not sure if that's still the case. I always try and use premium fuel and as above Momentum seems pretty decent stuff and cheaper than most of the others. Even Morrisons premium is 99 these days.

As others already mentioned, Tesco Momentum is 1st choice for both my D2 and the much later M5.

The missus' diesel gets whatever's convenient

All of my cars get the Momentum treatment - except the Tesla, obviously...

On my 2022 A4, I installed a piggy-back performance chip. First thing I noticed when it was set to '11' was knocking. It was solved by using Super Unleaded (98).

The issue I have at the moment with the petrol W12 D4 is averaging 250 miles per £100. So moving to Super Unleaded would be around 10% more. Not really too bad in the grand scheme of things I suppose.
