higher octane.

maybe that come across a bit strong, most of the time im sure there is nothing wrong with supermarket fuel as it has to have met the british standards. A couple of years ago there was a big incident where fuel from tescos and morrisons contained silicone which damaged a lot of cars, google it and you will see.

 

I have heard a lot of horror stories about supermarket related fuel problems as when we arent supplying clean fuels to guy like yourselves we also supply clean burning racing fuels to most of the racing cars in the UK.

 

Why take the risk for a couple of pence saving?

 

I would strongly advise not using supermarket fuels unless you really have to as these are known to be the worst.

 

Really?

Do you have a reference for that?

 

I was of the opinion that supermarket petrol stations shift more fuel than some others and so it tends to be fresher. Is that assumption wrong?

I suspect that if you looked at figures for contamination events vs volumes sold, the supermarkets would be no worse than independent or oil company owned petrol stations.

I'd give it a try if I could find a local a supplier. I've not come across it in my neck of the woods (Highland Perthshire).
