Don't forget that just because a garage says it sells a particular make of fuel means nothing. I was once in an Esso station and commented that a Texaco tanker was filling their tanks. The guy said yes it looks like it's Texaco this week, depends on what's cheapest when the boss puts the order in! And do you really think that Tesco has it's own oil refineries or has fuel specially blended?

its been said on here before, they all fill up with the same diesel/petrol, its the additives that they then place in the tank (at whatever time they do it)

Very true, and yet here it's the opposite - the nearest supermarket station I can think of is 30 miles away. Tesco have been trying to open a petrol station in a market town 10 miles away where they have a supermarket, but have so far been refused permission. That said, the market town in question could do with another petrol station - it used to have two, but one was 'temporarily' closed a few years ago after it was found to be sitting on top of a 'lake' of petrol which was thought to have leaked from its tanks over a period of many years! Although it's thought the leaks stopped a decade ago the station was still closed for a clean-up, and never re-opened. Which means that the remaining station can charge a premium, and at peak times has queues out onto the road. |

takes more than one tank, to clean out any residue that might be left behind, also some say its quieter, but i haven't ever noticed a difference
