What is the quality of Jet fuel like?

As in the petrol station

Is it comparable to supermarket fuel or more upmarket fuel like BP/Shell etc?

Quality of fuel is fine AFAIK. But the last time I used one of their stations my credit card was cloned so I will never go near them ever again, unless paying by cash.

Fuel is fuel it all meets the british standard.

Some advertise their fuel give you better economy, Yet the adverts got pulled.

So that speaks volumes.

Personally i want a station with a high turnover so the fuels not been in the tanks for 3 months.
How often do you see tankers there?

My local sainsbury's have deliveries every day.

Had my card cloned at a Jet petrol station near Southampton a couple of years ago. Will never use them again.

Fuel generally all comes from the same refinery, different brands add different additives, but the basic raw product is the same.

The myth about supermarket fuel is a bit lame to be honest. I recall a test being done by EVO magazine some years ago where they compared various brands and types of fuel and somtimes the supermarket regula 95RON slop outperformed the alleged Super Unleaded on sale from smaller outlets. it's all about how fresh the fuel is largely.

Also, if you drive an old car, I mean 20 years old+, you are wasting your money putting super unleaded in as there will be no benefits whatsoever unless the vehicle has knock sensors on the engine to alter the timing etc
