I thought everybody knew that all the fuel that went out to different stations was all the same ,but different suppliers ( BP,Esso,Shell ) just put different amounts of adadives in it , but the base fuel is the same specification .........

If you believe branded Nurofen is better than just the same but unbranded Ibuprofen - and people do - then it will cure your headache faster.

It's the same with different fuels - if you believe Esso fuel is better than Tesco fuel then your car will run faster.

It's all about belief. A powerful force. Never under estimate it.

...and you could also argue that once you are committed to paying extra for each litre of fuel by buying from Esso et al then you are always going to argue that it is worth it or you shoot yourself in the foot...

Me...have always bought from a supermarket and never had a problem.

If I remember correctly from previous postings, Chemical Jasper is a qualified chemical engineer who works in a refinery.

An AA patrolman needs a NVQ level 3 in Vehicle maintainence and repair. I will leave the reader to decide who has the most credibility on the subject of petroleum product quality.
