Tesco Momentum 99 vs Shell V-Power at a glance
Start with a suitable grade for your car, then compare the stations you can actually use. The search groups below describe how Route & Fuel groups reported E5 prices; they do not confirm stock at every forecourt.
| Petrol product | Route & Fuel search | Check before choosing |
|---|---|---|
| Tesco Momentum 99 | RON 99 | Tesco specifies 99 octane. Stocked at most Tesco filling stations in England, Scotland and Wales; not currently supplied in Northern Ireland. |
| Shell V-Power Unleaded | RON 99 | Compare the local pump price and petrol product label. Shell also sells V-Power Diesel, which is a different fuel. |
| Esso Synergy Supreme+ 99 | RON 99 | Esso specifies 99 octane and up to 5% ethanol. An E5 label does not mean ethanol-free. |
| Texaco Supreme 99 Performance+ | Other E5 | The named product is 99 RON E5, but Texaco’s premium grade varies by location. Check the specific station and pump. |
There is no single cheapest brand everywhere. Compare Tesco Momentum 99 prices near you with nearby 99 RON alternatives. If your car needs E5 without a specific 99 RON requirement, include other suitable E5 fuels.
Retailer formulations differ, and product claims about cleaning, protection or performance are not a guarantee of better MPG in your car. Follow your car’s minimum octane and ethanol requirements.

These are retailer-level E5 price comparisons from Route & Fuel's included station records, not tests of fuel formulations or a guarantee of a particular octane at every station. The count is the number of included prices; the median is the middle price. The typical range summarises the included E5 prices; it is not a quote for a particular station or necessarily the single lowest and highest price.

This chart shows recent national grade averages. It does not compare retailer formulations or confirm site-level availability.
How to choose between them
- Use the grade shown on the fuel flap, in the owner's manual or in manufacturer guidance.
- Compare nearby station prices instead of assuming one brand is always cheaper.
- Include the extra distance and the number of litres you expect to buy.
- If premium petrol is optional, compare cost per mile across several similar fills before drawing a conclusion.
Check the full journey cost
A cheaper RON 99 pump can still cost more overall if it takes you well away from the route. Compare the same fill size, MPG and extra distance in the journey calculator.
In the app, you can compare RON 99 stops along your route, see the extra miles for each detour and use your car’s MPG and fuel remaining before choosing.
