really doesn't make much difference other then how much left you have in your pocket after filling up.

i use tesco's (claimed 99 eco fuel) only because the normal unleaded has s**t loads of additives... and it makes the car jerk and splutter.

i'd personally go for the higher grade, i think germany doesn't do economy fuel anyways it's all POWER/performance fuel?

Never had a problem in the ST, had issues with sainsburys fuel in the RS so would stick away from that, BP is just overpriced, stick with tesco or shell

Well the morissons diesel damaged a load of our work vans at one point, I don't trust them after that.

additives all supermarkets put additives in their budget fuel tesco got pulled up on it.

so has sainsburys, merely because they have been caught out a few times when a batch or container has had too much additives and resulted in damaging the engine faster then what they are already doing.

search it on google your find hundreds of websites and reviews and experts explaining how they do it.

It's unfortunately common practice.

I think sainsburry's uses BP fuel anyway and ford always bang on about them being the best!

I go to shell. I can notice the difference when driving my car if I haven't filled up there for some reason...

BP sponsors Ford Focus WRC Team, and have always had close unofficial financial ties, which still go to date with a 'no comment'

one can only presume each company has their fingers in each others pies.
