From today Asda is cutting the price of petrol/diesel by 2p - so 85.9p unleaded and diesel 90.9p across the UK.

snag with all this Asda fuel might be...

i have an Audi with a smart computer in it that works out mpgs etc.
I reckon that on Asda diesel I get (got as I won't be buying it again) 6 miles less to the gallon... so if there's only 1 or 2 pence difference between that and BP/Shell/Esso, I'll be buying their better quality fuel!

All fuel(petrol/diesel) comes from the same depots.

There is absolutely no way that you get more mpg from BP/Shell/etc.

If you did these companies would never stop advertising the fact. Also magazines like Which and other motoring companies would run 'back to back' tests to demonstrate this.

Another 'Urban Myth!'

None of the supermarkets do. And as I was hoping to keep my car for a long time, I used quality fuel to keep it all running nice.

It's not an 'Urban Myth', I've been to Coryton and seen it myself.

It's no urban myth - the computer is telling me so, and believe me, I am an obsessive checker. So far Shell and BP giving 6-8 mpg more than Asda on normal running - on motorway-type running, I think there is even more of a difference...

I too am surprised that eg Which haven't done anything on it...
