Do you avoid supermarket fuel?

[Conzar]

I recently heard from somewhere that basically supermarket fuels are shit, watered down ECT.

I switched and now avoid them at all costs, TBH i have noticed i do get more miles.

Anyone else tried this?

Fill up at whatever is nearest when I need to fill up, never noticed any difference.

Supermarkets don't own the rigs pulling the oil or the refineries turning it in to petrol so I'd hazard a guess at it being no different to any other unleaded.

Really?

We're doing this shit again....

ASDA does just fine ta.

Mrs Phrealy (pending) lives near Kingsbury oil refinery. I've seen Jet, Esso and Morrisons lorries coming out of there.

Used to avoid it at all costs, bit of a shell fanboy.

Until last week I used the 20p off a litre thing at tesco.

Car noticeable felt less reactive/responsive, however, was just boring commuting anyway. No loss in miles to a tank.

Left me more open minded, I still don't think I'd ever use it if it was the same price as shell though. (Which it is without the offer..)

Also heard the same from an old colleague. I imagine if you're driving/riding around in something old and carby, or an impreza turbo, then it makes a difference.

Was wondering this as I filled my Vara up at Asda last night

Propaganda perpetuated by the likes of Shell, Esso and BP, I'm afraid.

There are often different detergents in 'branded' fuel but the base petroleum is the same.

The fuel is alright, it's the antiquated storage tanks that let down a lot of fuels and, with so many franchises, you're as likely to suffer from water and shit in fuel from a Shell V-Power pump as from a Tesco 95RON pump.

Depends on whether I fancy using the nifty pay at the pump thing at ASDA, have a double Nectar point voucher for Sainsburys or find myself at a Shell. I don't care!

Anyone else using an app to track petrol cost and use? I started in January for the car and I am surprised at how much my mpg varies from month to month. I have also spent £635 on fuel in that time, fookin hell!

Should we be prepared for a nodding thread, a powerband thread etc etc aswell then?

[Conzar]

Unfortunately, no

I've forgotten the question

ASDA, moggysons, safeburies and an esso and BP garage known to clone cards (pay in cash)

No difference on ZZR or 1.2 diesel Ibiza, the vara liked V power when they'd run out of regular.

I avoid texaco cos it's stupidly expensive
