  • I refuse to buy supermarket petrol since its low quality. Its cheaper for a reason - contains much less additives than that from the likes of BP, Shell, Esso etc.

    From WhatCar:
    Q: Is it true that the fuel sold at supermarket petrol stations is not of the same quality as that as you would buy from a dedicated petrol station?

    A: According to the Petrol Retailers Association, there is no difference between the standard petrol you buy from supermarkets or franchised petrol stations. In most cases the petrol and diesel is even produced at the same refinery and delivered in the same trucks.

    The exception to this is specialist fuels, such as Shell’s Optimax and BP’s Ultimate. In their case, the fuel is enhanced with additives, which produce that brand’s particular properties.

    There are some special additives in BP fuel at the minute including bits of golf ball ;)

    Certainly in Scotland this was shown to be nonsense when there were strikes at the Grangemouth refinery, as all petrol stations ran out of fuel because they all got the same petrol from there, EXCEPT Asda who got their supplies from somewhere in England.
