The basic fuel is the same, but they all put in different quantities and varieties of additives when they collect from the depot. I've never had problems with Sainsbury fuel - I suspect the problems reported have arisen when the supermarkets have picked up a cheap load from a dodgy source - but I'm tending to use BP ultimate now as I notice a definite difference. I'm more or less certain that the Cetane rating is higher. Of course you can manufacture this difference yourself by putting in your own additives.

One shot for £15 Shocked

Doctor try this, 3 shots of 330ml for the same price and if you buy larger qty's you obviously get it cheaper.

Will stick to the Shell V power or the BP Ultimate that's only an extra £4.20 a fill.

Fuel protest were engineered by government, it was pretty ineffective, so now, people can't be bothered with protesting and we roll over and take it, Chancellor smiles.

The Wynns stuff will improve performance by raising the cetane rating (like adding a bit of lead to petrol) but it stinks. Ye famous olde 2-stroke is probably just as good.
