I think I have poor fuel in my cars supplied by a local supermarket on Thursday and Saturday as since filling up both are now running really rough. The TVR won't rev above 3k and the Cav will not idle properly. Both were fine before so thinking suspect fuel ?

Anyhows does anyone know the procedure for sample fuel to be tested, or contact numbers, as the supermarket central help line does not seem to be able to help, which considering they must have had this issue earlier in the year seems a surprise.

Cheers

It's largely the same fuel as the franchised forecourts use.

The only difference is usually the mix of additives.

Works perfectly well in my recently-tested 407bhp Cerbera as well as my crappy Avensis.

I do less mpg on supermarket fuel than i do on just shell or esso fuel a good 30 miles to a tank less, think perfomance suffers a bit too
