as facts stand its only one persons opinion against another's, yes we can quote one web page or a mechanics opinion page saying supermarket fuel is worse in additives ,and then another web page etc saying its got all the necessary additives...

Luckily our local shell price matches the local morrisons, so it's a no brainer really... Previously..

Living In a county wth two oil refineries and having worked in one. seeing all different petrol tankers comming out of both refineries I don't belive to much when it comes to different garages with different additives unless they are added at the pumps that is.

I've only ever had issues with Tesco fuel, and then only the once. Sainsbury's and Asda are fine. I don't use Morrisons as it's too far away. But, going the other way from home I have Esso at the same price. That's the preferred option for me. |

My closest is a texaco which is pretty expensive as it is a small garage, other than that it is the shell at burton services, occasionally it gets a tank of supermarket, however the 3p difference per litre is offset by the fact i have to drive an extra 8 miles to get there.....

I'm going to try the one in three plan just to see. I'll report back at the end of January with a verdict. It's not that my RR runs poorly its just that I think that there may be something in the additives argument with regard to offering better engine protection. I'm a bit p'd off at having to replace two fuel pumps at (circa) 112k miles.
