There are something like four oil refineries in the country.

Wikipedia suggests 15. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Oil_refineries_in_the_United_Kingdom

You may wish to check the linked pages.

Fawley, Grangemouth, Pembroke and Stanlow are the only ones still operational.

To make it worse Tesco are introducing electric charging points at their supermarkets. So people will be taking their brand new electric cars there and filling up with dirty electric. I wouldn't use supermarket electric.

My car after 120k miles on supermarket fuel says different to most of the incoherent ramblings on here.

Once again makes absolutely no difference at all. Placebo is a marvelous marketing tool.

There is usually less cleaning additives in supermarket fuel, its how the prices are kept lower.
This can often lead to a deterioration in injector spray pattern due to partial clogging which is often a contribution tof minor reductions in economy and slightly poorer cold starting, increase in clogging of EGRs in the case of Derv engines.
Of course driving styles/patterns different engines, how well serviced (its more important to change fuel filters on schedule with dervs for example than worrying about supermarket vs branded fuel) will be factors on how much an individual car could be affected by a reduction in additives in fuel.
Injector failures we hear about often are due to poor design, not the fuel.
