Supermarket fuel (no not again)!

Whether the majors actually insert any beneficial additives to their fuels that the supermarkets do not remains to be fully proven. Until a good university study or two proves it, any views are just guesswork.
It is worth noting, however, that supermarket-branded food and drink are rarely as tasty as branded food and drink. Coca Cola, Branston pickle, etc. One could stretch that finding to fuels, and *guess* that supermarket fuel is, on balance, likely to be slightly "less good" than branded fuel from the majors. Again, though, just guesswork.
Well ican tell you with 100% certainty that tesco petrol taists the same as Esso, i had 3 missfuels in this week to drain and as my pump had packed up i had to manualy syphon it It is worth noting, however, that supermarket-branded food and drink are rarely as tasty as branded food and drink.

Can't understand why anybody uses supermarket fuel when Shell or BP make the car run better, for only a penny a litre more.
Basically, the gains are minimal, and the Shell garage around here is out of my way. Plus my car runs great, just a bit better with Shell. But it isn't enough for me to be overly fussed about it unless I'm passing and need fuel... but as I said it takes a few tanks to notice a difference.If anything your case surely shows its not solely the fuel to blame
