Comments?

There are tiny differences in the additive packages with the
supermarkets cutting corners a bit but all the fuel is to the
British standard and only the tetchiest of engines will see any
difference.

It really only matters when they put the entirely the wrong
additive package in as happened in 2007 and again in 2014 to a
lesser extent.

Petrol engines really don't like the *diesel* additive package.

FWIW I am happy to buy supermarket fuel at the best price I can
get.

You and me both. And always have. Even in performance vehicles.
There is an astonishing amount of cock spouted about this, especially
given the subjectivity of people assessing their own fuel choices.


I have no particular axe to grind, but even I find your total ignorance
astounding. Fuel is not a single item. It is a blend of stuff including
unwanted things like water, that has a definite and measurable impact on
car engine performance.

All fuels are not created equal, that is established fact.

What is less definite is which fuels, if any, are reliably better, and
in what way.
