Cheers Brian, I've never tried Tesco Momentum before, I haven't seen it available around here. The Shell garages are both ten miles away from home so it costs me a gallon before I go anywhere

Correction, there's a garage two miles away that's just recently switched to Shell but I've read too many examples of folk breaking down after filling up there, suggesting their tanks are contaminated, so I won't go anywhere near it

Only ever read positive reviews on Costco fuel, both for quality and price.

Tesco store finder helps Ron, if they stock Momentum it should come up in the listing once you choose the Store, it's also usually much cheaper than Shell.

https://www.tesco.com/store-locator/uk/

eg

Notice that particular branch has a defibrilator too, handy for those filling S8s when they get the bill

I believe Greenenergy add bioethanol to the "standard" mix from the refinery for Tesco. Greenenergy also supply many other forecourts having got a contract to supply Esso petrol stations. (What does Esso do then - just upstream work I guess?)

Been using their diesel for a good while now. I’ve never noticed a difference in the stuff compared to others’.

Trip before last I filled up the 8 and spent £300 on a bl00dy food mixer.
