WTF do you drive, a Challenger tank?It’s £120 to fill my car up so I’ll be taking it for a full tank tomorrow. Should be around £100 at these prices
A 4x4. Albeit a one with a big tank. It’s in proportion the car I supposeWTF do you drive, a Challenger tank?
I’m filling bottles and bottles of the stuff and hiding it near monkey tassle’s gafftime to stockpile
Canada got low taxes on it?69 cents in Ottawa yesterday.
Same here, im convinced i get about 80/100 miles extra per tankI get mine from Costco usually and it seems to drive a bit better. Makes little sense though.
It’s common knowledge that the fuel companies include different additive packs. Sticking to something like Shell is an insurance that you will never know the true value of because nobody runs two identical cars, at the same time, in the same way, with one exclusively on supermarket fuel and the other on Shell. Basically, some people are happy to pay the difference for a difficult to quantify benefit and some are not. I think people saying the car drives better on one versus the other is a placebo effect. Personally I put shell in for the sake of a couple of quid per tank.
1.45.9 last nightI bet the service station on the A1 at Birtley is still 45p dearer than anywhere in the North East.
This. I worked in a technical job for BP. All fuels meet a minimum standard but are not the sameThe supermarkets sell base grade fuels, these have no additives that clean your engine, these additives also improve mileage through helping the engine be more efficient. Buying fuel from a quality branded oil company service station is far superior than buying base grade products. Shell, Esso, Texaco, BP all develop their fuels to be very high quality whether you buy the standard or the super grade fuel. At best if your going to buy the stuff at the supermarket alternate with a quality fuel fill up. Fuel is like anything else you get what you pay for, excluding motorway service areas who generally take advantage of their geography to over charge.
Pretty sure the Hovis factory makes brown and white bread and both go out in Hovis lorries. They probably make bread to different recipes for supermarkets too, but it doesn't mean it's the same loaf with the same ingredients. Different specifications can be made at any factory and fuel blending facilities are no different.All the fuel is basically the same, we used to live near a fuel distribution depot near Southampton. You would see all the tankers for Esso, Shell, Texaco, Tesco, etc all leaving. Allegedly some of the oil companies add some extra detergents but no one has ever proven that. I have only used supermarket petrol and diesel for the last 10 years with no Ill effects.
Mine is cheap shit 230vI recommend paying extra for your electricity too
I know some people say it’s all the same, but worth paying that bit extra for a premium 240v iirc
Exactly what I was toldI was once told by a very reliable and honest mechanic never to use supermarket fuel under any circumstances. In his words it's "shite". The bloke has been a godsend when it comes to looking after my vehicles and those of others I know so I'm happy to take him at his word.

Half the price of ours I would have thought - they use 110v.What must the Yank's lectric be like then?
