Supermarket fuel

supermarket fuel is rubbish, a few of us have proved it, try filling up at the supermarket for a few months, then get branded fuel, see the extra 20 m.p.g.

I agree with you ABM!

Dakota, I've actually got a new specially imported non GMO, gluten free additive made based on secret US military formula that has been hidden from the public in a 'big oil' conspiracy,  it's guaranteed to get you an extra 30mpg and clean your engine and gearbox and differential! Its only 35 pounds a month, but consider the offset savings!

Best thing is I can email it to you immediately on receipt of your payment!

I've used supermarket fuel 99% of the time, for the last, well I can't remember, but certainly 10 - 15 years and never had any problems with either the towcar or the other one. Its cheaper so does that negate the extra 20mpg?

  Hope  it  doesnt  involve  wearing  Lycra  ==  I,  for  one,  don't  have  the  figure  for  that  !! 

Only time I don't use supermarket fuel is if it's cheaper elsewhere.Done that for last 30 odd years with 2 motorcaravans and 4 cars without problems.Have used a Broquet in some of them and never failed exhaust emisions or had other problems apart from egr valve on latest car but not caused by fuel.

I have tried checking the mpg of both suoermarket fuel and branded. The answer was there was very little if anything in it and the best results were from Tesco but it could be down to traffic conditions as you never get two trips exactly the same.

At the end of the day the fuel in any area all comes from the same tanks at the same refinery and the only differnce is a few additives the driver puts in. The idea that this could give you anything other than a modest difference is simply not feasible as the amount of energy a gallon of fuel can produce is fixed. The additives cannot achieve more than the laws of nature.

Given that something like this would be like a red rag to a bull for a Watchdog type programme. I can only assume I missed it.  Or much more likely, there is no significant difference. In any event as the branded fuels are 20 to  30p more expensive per gallon, they would have to return 2 mpg  more, just to break even.

Put money on it being the erg valve crudding up happened to my 2007 Shogun, had it cleaned by my mechanic told to use Shell had no more problems. Once a month run it on V power with full tank.

Wildwood is right there is little, or no difference

If there is a difference ,it is most likely all in the motorist mind ,and not the car

....But Shell don't even make fuel in the UK, so you have not bought anything made by Shell, other than a teaspoon full of Shell additive once a month!
