Best Quality Petrol

[varley_1]

Anybody know what the best place is ro buy your petrol ? I heard shell produce the best with jet producing the worse, wondered if anybody knew anything?

[Mochachino]

Murco mate


jks, shells or BP is meant to be the best.

Its all much of a muchness. There are regulations governing fuel and in so all pump fuel is very similar. Even something like pump race fuel is not that far off what you get from the supermarket. How fresh the fuel is will make a far bigger difference to where you got it from most of the time. More potent fuel is readably available however most road cars will not like it one bit. Its also illegal to use on the road.

i run BP almost always. Although i tried jet the other day because it was cheaper but it made the car run shit. Bit lumpy aswell.

[Claireeyy]

shell fuel or esso

[dj_russell]

shell v-powers 99ron, bp ultimates 97 ron and then normal shit fuels 95 ron i only ever put v-power in, but tesco do 99 ron aswell but its tesco lol.

bps meant to be bringing 103 ron to the uk pumps soon then ill use that.

[Mike-VTR]

repeat thread ftw

[saxo_90]

what ever one has the highest RON rating ;)

[Fergie]

Shell V-Power and Tesco Super Unleaded. Topped up with octane booster :y::y:

[dj_russell]

i used octane booster before and it was shite, then i also saw the 5th gear test of it not impressed at all.

[Fergie]

The first time I used it I definitely felt a difference. The car was quicker, especially from 2nd to 3rd and upto 4th. Maybe it was the cleaning agents in it cleaning all the necessary bits. The second (and last) time I used it, didn't really notice any difference to be honest.

[Goodwrench]

Anyone remember that fuel station company with a "credit card man" as its mascot? A credit card with a face, arms and legs!
Used to be loads of them in the 90s... now gone!

dont go to supermarkets like tescos for fuel. they have a higher ethanol percentage.
ethanol is cheap so thats the reason for the lower prices in the supermarkets. it is more combustable but it lowers your mpg so you end up using more fuel. ethanol is also rather corrosive so can damage your fuel lines. i knew a guy with a bike and he used tesco fuel. but he ended up buying a new fuel tank and injectors cus there were alot of waxes which blocked up the injectors.

stick with shell cus they get there own fuel and dont buy it from some one else.

Its just Exxon (esso) fuel Tesco sell. Fuel really has gone down hill. Any of the ols school 5 star fuels had more of a kit than just about anything on sale these days. :n:

[dankzy]

esso is meant to be a good fuel to use or at least it was

[VTRelite]

if im brimming i use normal shell but if im just slapping a tenner in i use pretty much anything

[TraV]

I go to which ever is cheapestt at the time, usually esco or shell.

[djadzvtr]

v power.......not much more but better!!!

[Shak]

Esso, car feels better than when i use optimax, bp round here is usually the priciest. Not the supreme either.

When i used texaco in my bike, i stripped the carb to change the jets and thought it smelt like diesel. Then i took it to the bike shop i use and the guy there guessed it had texaco in it cos it smelt like diesel.
