Fuel Suppliers
 

Chatting to the lads in work about fuel prices and where I get mine from.
They was shocked that I use Tesco for my fuel needs and said how bad quality supermarket fuel is and such.

I've never really paid much attention to the claims that supermarket fuels was bad cause most of my Diesels ran on biodiesel up till a year ago.

I've started paying a little bit more attention to the claims and reading a little bit more about it.

I'm wondering what's your views are on the subject of supermarket fuels vs others, what do you use and have you noticed any performance or MPG difference between the fuels?

I used to be a Shell Optimax/Nitro man for my S8 (though strangely my Fiat Coupe runs better on BP fuel… :Confused: ), but converted to Tesco Momentum about 6 months ago following an earlier fuel thread on here, and recommendations on that by Amar, amongst others, and it's as good as Shell, I think. Have a look for that thread, there's lots of useful info and opinions on there.

This one?

Thanks.

My last two cars have both felt better to me with Tesco Momentum

99 Momentum all the way for me. So much better than any other fuel I've used before. I get on average 50-60 miles further per tank.

another vote for Momentum, and its a lot cheaper than Shell as well+++

Momentum is Petrol only though innit?

I only run mine on Tesco 95 RON. Living in sleepy dorset the town only has two petrol stations, Tesco and Esso with the Esso one being nearly 10P a litre more than Tesco. Being a small Tesco it only has standard fuels, so no momentum 99 RON.

Momentum is indeed petrol only, but all Diesel must meet minimum requirements and it is that the car is designed to run on.

Did notice a difference on the economy of my D2 and PF D3 on V-Power. Not sure on the diesels, but can't shake the niggling doubt that filling up my car on Asda diesel (it's just round the corner) a lot contributed to the DPF failure (though I'm sure 100k+ miles didn't help either).

I was almost going to try some Momentum, then I started searching online and found a few shocking articles about Tesco's past c#@k ups. I think I'll stay with v-power.
