is morrisons fuel bad?



I've never used it since the Newquay meet in 2006. We all filled up with Morrisons fuel and within no time everyones cars were pinking.

I should probably try running my ST on something better than supermarket petrol. Idle seems quite rough, despite having cleaned the throttle body a few months ago.

ABSOLUTELY!! I remember that moment verrrry well Chris. It was a really hot day and we all needed fuel after... a little Private Road thing.
My White was only about 4 months old with about 2k on the clock.

Literally, as soon as we pulled off the forecourt, i thought i had done the engine in from what it sounded like, and was seriously thinking thank god it's new, I'm covered with warantee.

After another day, refuelling from a BP garage, Normal 95rom. All noises gone!!

Hi

When you can get it cheap go for Shell VPower Racing oder Aral Ultimate (both 100 Octane)

Or just take "Super Benzin" (95 Octane) like Shell Fuel Save Super for Example....

But you have to watch out .... since a few month the coverment is trying to sell us Super E10 (E10 means 10% bioethanol)

Our engine is E10 ready but it simply sucks ....
Less Power and a higher fuel consumption.....

Only thing about it: It´s 10% biological.....
Hate this crab like 75% of all Germans so it stays in the Gas stations

that doesnt sound like a clever idea for the government to do fuel wise. does it reduce emissions or anything like that?

In case of the 10% bioethanol they say its good for our planet.. bla bla
BUT !
Increased consumption and bioethanol is made from various plants like "raps" i dont know the english word...
Now a lot of farmers produce "raps" on their land....
WIch ends up in monoculture all over so massiv amounts of fertilizer (i hope its the right word ^^) iss needet to keep this crap crowing.....

In my opinion it doesent make any sense ^^
And i will not put this crap in my ST--

My car iss no vegetarian

Shell V Power all the way...can't run my focus on anything less without the engine running rough. BP is too overpriced for my liking.
