My local Tesco Supermarket has a separate petrol station, that was originally an old independent station until the Supermarket was built.

As such it's a bit tight for modern cars to fit if everyone doesn't pull close to the pumps. It currently has 4 pumps in a square, with hoses either side, so will take 8 cars in total (although often only 6 if people in the middle lanes don't leave enough room. Each pump has a choice of regular UL, Momentum or Diesel.

This old station is being demolished and replaced with a new station within the Tesco Supermarket car park. It will be self service only. The first thing I noticed was that they haven't buried that tanks, they are at ground level with the pumps arranged either side of the tank. Secondly, they have only installed 6 pumps, instead of the 8 (4*2) at the old station. And thirdly, no Momentum! Just regular UL & Diesel. Has anyone noticed other Tescos or stationed removing their SUL offerings? Have they just done a cost analysis at my station and decided that SUL doesn't sell enough to warrant carrying?
