Fuel quality

[AndyG]

Afternoon peeps. While feeling a little under-entertained at work i was wondering;

theres a range of petrol prices (Shell, BP, Q8, Tesco etc.), but who really offers the best price/performance in terms of fuel quality??

..I mean its all very well thinking that high dollar = high quality, but is that really the case?

Tanks.

I tend to buy Shell Optimax, but I cant get that then I will use Super Unleaded from BP, Esso, Shell.

Only as a last resort would I use Supermarket petrol.

A kinda petrol snob if you like!

Theyre all the same IMO but my 172 definitely runs better on super/optimax/high octane petrol.

i know when ive gone from optimax to tesco even in my n/a car i can really feel the difference. full tank on optimax costs £32 where as tesco is £27!

I put Optimax in last time, just put Morissons stuff in now..

Difference? Absolutly LOADS!



Ok, Im lying.. no difference, but the Williams doesnt use 98RON fuel hehe.

If I had a 172/182, Id use Optimax as the ECU does know what fuel you are using and on normal unleaded, makes it slower (in basic terms, hehe).

cant say i notice a difference whatever fuel i use.

i know a shell station near me that sells optimax at the same price or cheaper than a lot of the normal garages around it! so i buy optimax just in case it is better and save money!

check my bad self!
