3% Cashback with Santander 123 credit card, Not tempted?

OAP with pension, I was turned down for it when I applied.


Plus the amount of petrol I buy would probably not cover the £24 fee

I would not use it as it burns too quick and due to being a poor quality makes a newer engine run quite rough.

What? Have you posted on the wrong thread?

Or are you referring to the (alleged) poor quality of supermarket fuels?

I remember putting a 50p coin into an all-night petrol pump to get me to work the next day on my motorbike - a Honda 175. The petrol pump never turned itself off after the 50p had been reached, so I filled my tank instead. Went home and told my brother so he filled his VW Beetle for 50p too!

I was referring to the new £50.00 notes as they do not burn very well, I think my post states the obvious really.

Obviously not.

If you ARE inferring that supermarket fuels are poor quality then you've fallen for the fuel company propaganda ... ALL fuels sold in the UK must meet British Standards. In fact, all supermarket fuels come from the exact same refineries as "brand" fuels.

I've worked at refineries ... I've seen the road tankers ("brand" names and supermarket) lined up at the tank farms, taking turns to load their fuels from the exact same tanks.

While I don't want to 'fan the flames' on a 'which burns better' dispute ....... is it not the case that while the base fuel is the same and it does come from the same tanks, to the same standard, there are different additives added to the base fuel depending on whether the tanker is going to deliver to a major brand like Shell or a supermarket like Tesco for example.

If there is not a range of different additives, for specific customers of the bulk storage tanks, then the whole fuel industry has been fooling us for years.
