stef123 Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 I mostly used supermarket bog standard unleaded when i had my focus but im now only using Shell bog standard diesel. used Shell v-power diesel for 2 or 3 tanks but i was far from impressed - just a waste of money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartynS Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Esso unleaded for me, I avoid supermarket fuels. Still tempted by the premium or whatever they call it though, just can't justify the extra cost :D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rojariggs Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 I use Esso standard diesel. Same price as the nearest supermarket but no queuing. Cheers Rog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamc260 Posted January 2, 2012 Author Share Posted January 2, 2012 I think the supermarket arguement is one that has been going on for a long time, Sainsburys for example is supplied by BP and rumoured that tesco by esso etc =/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Yes, tesco's is esso fuel as they have a few Express shops around which are basically fuel stations and convenience shops in one. I usually use whoever is cheapest for my own car (mostly asda or tesco) and Shell for work car as we use agency cards to fill up and they're the nominated supplier. Why is it that so many people still use texaco as around here they are usually 8-10p dearer per litre than anyone else. I suppose if they have agency cards or fuel contracts with texaco then they're stuck. I'd look for a new arangement if i was their fleet manager. I know ford recommend Shell as that was written on my fuel cap until it was replaced after splitting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamc260 Posted January 2, 2012 Author Share Posted January 2, 2012 I put £20 of fuel in my car from Texaco before when we had the petrol strikes etc and it lasted me about... 50 miles! Never been back since! Ford also recommend BP fuel, says so on their website ;) http://www.bp.com/retail/sectiongenericarticle.do?categoryId=9036625&contentId=7069869 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoney871 Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 You probably get from whoever sainsbury's gets the best deal from then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamC11 Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I use Texaco. I have used this fuel since i have owned the car. Cheers A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanGull Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I use whichever fuel station I can get decent cash back/discount rates with credit cards on. I have an Asda card which gives a 1p a litre discount and is usually the cheapest in the area, I also have an Amex/Mastercard double card which give 5% cash back at BP and Shell. Finally I also have a Texaco account card for business use, but it rarely gets used as we seem to be lacking the stations round here. The Esso/BP/Shell versions of this card I didn't feel were worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tarbyonline Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Normally texaco standard as it seemed to make the last car run better. The techron additive is meant to be one of the best alledgedly. wish i could get tesco 99 as the ethanol in it is meant to be good for cleaning your injector system. Dont use tesco standard though as it made my scooter cut out resulting in having to drain the tank and my fiat also ran very rough on this but this could have been down to the forecourt used and not the petrol. Tesco use a number of suppliers including afaik the rotterdam spot market. They do this to keep the price down as if they tie themselves to a single supplier then they would be free to charge what they want. However the vast majority of their petrol on the mainland is supplied by greenergy afaik (whom tesco own a large number of shares in and also blend the 99 octane). All petrol has to conform to european standards so the only real difference is the additive package. Chances are in your local area it all comes from the same place anyways. at the end of the day there are a finite number of refineries (13 springs to mind but this could just be a random number) witha handful of owners. ASDA used to be BP but not sure if this is still the case. Sainsburys used to be BP and morrisons mainly Texaco but again they all probably use a number of suppliers. However just because they use a certain company to supply them dosnt mean the fuel is the same as on the branded forecourts as additives will probably be different (and they supermarkets are going to buy on price as they often make a loss on petrol anyways) As for the brand on the tanker, i wouldnt read into that much as many of them are run and owned by logistics companies and just carry branding.

Amberes Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 MAES, a private local distributor with +/- 30 fuel stations. Otherwise Shell ( at our Carrefour supermarkets ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRC89 Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Morrisons standard unleaded usually, but I often fill up at whatever's closest, Including; Tesco, Shell, BP, Texaco, Murco all standard unleaded. I don't really feel much differences between the different brands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
