Can we not trott out the BS about supermarkets. Sainsbury's do not just buy Shell, they buy whatever is the best value on the market for that part of the country. The same as all of the others except where they have their own refinery in that area. Exception being where they have their own Premium brands like Optimax as that always comes from the same source.
Far too many staff and supply chain people have come out and debunked all of this for enough years now, but for some reason it still gets trotted out.
A supermarket with high turnover is more likely to have good conditioned underground tanks than some brand forecourts which have older and lower usage.
There are a lot of posts about supermarket fuel but I have seen no real proof if it being it worse than branded fuels, and the opinions between, posters saying they are in the oil industry, appears to differ. I can accept that premium fuels contain more beneficial additives and may be better long term than base fuels, but personally I have noticed no difference using them. Base fuel prices do not seem to differ much at supermarkets I find either. My local shell garage is similarly priced to Tesco.
I think 400ix was just pointing out he thought the fuel discussion had run its course, but maybe his reference to BS was uncalled for if it differed from his opinion.
What's a lesser forum anyway?
Gerald stick some imitation carbon fibre on your 1999 Focus, paint your windows black and a lesser forum will seek you out fella oh and that baseball cap needs to go sideways innit bud
I have no idea what you are you are on about, but if you think Fords are a lesser car then maybe you haven't owned one. My 1999 Focus was excellent but then it was returned in 2002 as lease expired.
Yeah but we are talking about now in 2016 Gerald, my company Maestro was goodish in its day, have you not seen the boy racer forums for teenagers who have very old cars with poor quality customising?, you must have seen like 10 year old VW Polos with the springs ground in half to lower them and the wheels cambered out with tapers ? they always wear baseball hats turned sideways and say stuff like innit though and nowatamean, you must have at least watched Police Interceptors on the TV, they pull them up all the time ??
