Badge Posted March 16, 2017 Report Share Posted March 16, 2017 Me neither - not since our nearly new car broke down and the first question the recovery man asked was have we been using supermarket fuel!! Very lucky we didn't get a big repair bill apparently. our garage where we take our cars to, have always told us not to use supermarket fuel, my Volvo always pinked (!!) , My freelander, it blocked the jets!! So for several years I've used shell or bp and no problems. No idea why though, as our mechanic says it's crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trees Posted March 16, 2017 Report Share Posted March 16, 2017 if they sold methanol at the pump it might work,,,, and am sure some folk would try it in their car to see if it makes much difference, (a would for a laugh) a don't think they do red Haha, pity they don't we would all be better off 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triple.H. Posted March 16, 2017 Report Share Posted March 16, 2017 The Netball Coverage is part funded by the governing body and they have a very good sponsor in Vitality who all help to keep Netball on Sky Sports if not i suspect that they would have been in a similar position to Speedway. Surely Netball has similarities to football in that back in the day all girls played netball while boys played football both fairly simple games with only a small amount of equipment needed plenty of women seem to still play in local leagues or just for fun a bit of exercise and fun with your friends is good for the heart and soul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bunce Posted March 17, 2017 Report Share Posted March 17, 2017 I must be in the minority then, I don't use supermarket diesel .... Neither do I. My garage man said the quality of the fuel is not as good, so you pay your money and take your choice. As I don't do a big mileage now I'm retired, I stick mainly to BP fuel. When I was driving a company car years ago, I always bought the dearest fuel I could find, so I would get the maximum amount of Green Shield Stamps! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemini Posted March 17, 2017 Report Share Posted March 17, 2017 Supermarket petrol is for me though. Is there a shortage or something because I went to ASDA this morning to get some and the queue to get in was right up the road so I gave up. Since having on-line shopping and not using the car very much for the last few months after breaking my hip I haven't bought any petrol for ages but the Speedway season is starting now which changes things. Peterborough (hopefully) on Sunday so I'll have to try again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OveFundinFan Posted March 17, 2017 Report Share Posted March 17, 2017 I think the supermarkets were dropping the price of fuel by 3p/litre this last week. I get supermarket fuel but I always add Redex for Diesel in to the tank, so that may put something in that some say is not there with supermarket stuff. I know it helps to keep the injectors clean. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a kia,,, bought petrol from all over, did 50,000 mile in it (on the same oil) and the fuel economy never changed, but it was quite thirsty like,,, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OveFundinFan Posted March 17, 2017 Report Share Posted March 17, 2017 Additives like Redex, for petrol or diesel, claim to clean the injector tips thus gaining an efficient flow of fuel leading to extra mpg. Also can reduce black smoke from diesel engines particularly if used on shorter runs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
