Supermarket Fuel?

- I often get asked if I use or trust fuel from a supermarket? My answer to that has changed in the last few years. (For context, I used to run a petrol station) I thought I would answer this in a short as its not long enough for a full video.

Super market unleaded fuel was delivered to the garages without additives which is why you didn't get the same mpg as buying it from a normal garage who would get the additives mixed with the petrol at the terminal when collecting it.All E5 98+ octane fuel already have the additives mixed in,so that's why you are not noticing any difference to other garages,infact due to a faster turnover of fuel, there's might even make your vehicle run better than buying it from a normal garage. As far as I know E10 is still delivered to supermarket's without additives which is one of the reasons why they can sell it cheaper!
Bollocks they sell it cheaper because it's bought in massive bulk amounts, all fuel is the same
@@TrulyUniqueOneyou don’t think Shell and BP buy in bulk? 😭😭😭
@@benl509 Shell and BP don't buy they drill it and process it themselves. The difference is how it's refined.
@@TrulyUniqueOne where do you think they keep this bulk stock,at the back of the supermarket 🤔. A supermarket tanker will go to the same petrol terminal as all the other companies use. Yes all petrol is the same base product, and the same octane but additives are added at the refinery for each manufacturer. Ps I'm not talking bollocks as owning a fuel station for 40years has given me some experience!!!!
I did work for a transport company some years ago, after several of the vans suffered major engine problems the boss told everyone on the fleet NOT to fill up at supermarkets. There certainly was a problem with the diesel that they supplied.
Most of supermarket petrol stations buy their E5 from the main providers eg shell BP and ESSO. Found out from a friend who worked in asda who was telling me that shell is one of their main providers for E5 petrol.
Got me thinking why is shell, BP fuel so more expensive than the supermarkets when they provide them the same exact fuel? I’m wondering if it’s bc of this exact reason, people talk and always say avoid supermarket fuels, so are the main brand stations using this to mark up the same product?
They put more additives in the "official" BP and Shell fuels, but the base fuel is essentially the same.
Edit: But yes it's definitely marked up more because it's "branded".
Only ever had issues with Tesco, made the bike feel 50% less powerful and spluttering at junctions, never had an issue with any other company or brand
I work for a generator company in the u.k and there definitely is a difference in suppliers. I have no idea why . Most are ok . Cant really name the 1 and only awful supplier but ...
I'll give credit to new era ..
It's never ever been dirty . What ever process they have in place works ..
I think the bad company get their fuel from shrek .
One of the nice things about my 40-odd-year-old BMW two-valve twin (R65Ls) is it would run happily on crappy fuel now we have E number fuel I have to stick E5 (super unleaded in old money) because she runs like a bag of nails on alcohol-laced E10.
I have only used fuel from Sainsbury''s for all my bikes and not once I have had any issues.
I run all my bikes (m1800r, fzs1000, gsxr600 track bike and 160 pitbike) on supermarket fuel. Either from Tesco, Morrisons or Costco. All E10, never had a running issue with any of them. They don't feel any more powerful or smooth running on e5 so I won't be changing unless I get an issue.
I only use E5 in my bikes it may just be a placebo but I feel I get 20 more miles per tank and throttle response and acceleration feel better.
Last time I used supermarket fuel it was Morrisons 10 years ago and I broke down. Fuel was as flammable as water.
I only used shell v power and Tesco momentum and I’m told by car tuners Tesco momentum is probably the best and most consistent fuel you can buy
The Supermarket Fuel Does Not get
The Same Additives as a Branded
Petrol Station thats why its Cheaper
( According to a Shell Video I Saw )
These Additives are Expensive to
Make
Same mate, Tesco E5 or Shell VPower - better mpg in the cars also offsets the extra cost
Esso and Tesco use the exact same fuel
I've just filled up the warm hatch with super unleaded from Trago Mills. £1.4something a litre. E10 unleaded is like £1.33. Cheapest place in Devon that I know of and the fuel feels fine. Massive queues though.
And to be fair on that white merc at the end, unless it was just a reminder, the national limit was still up ahead, you were still under the previous speed limit.
It's a little scary how vast and far differentiating the opinions are here, considering this is a extremely well covered (and tested!) topic.
Unlike other countries with less stringent standards, the minimum standard for fuels in the UK is exceptionally high. You can be sure that the fuel going into your vehicle, even at the cheapest of locations is of a good quality.
Supermarket fuel will contain additives and detergents, albeit at a lesser quantities than some of the well known brands. However picking a well known brand isn't necessarily a guarantee your getting the "good stuff" as many tests have shown.
The question you should be asking is " Is the premium fuel worth it?"
Their marketing will tell you, it will make your car last longer and go faster. However, tests have shown that on average premium fuel gives a 1.01% increase to performance (slightly higher on performance vehicles).
There is no shortage of vehicles with 180,000+ miles on the clock that have never had premium fuel added. It's uncommon for the engine to go first, usually the supporting components that get to costly to repair.
In other countries where the fuel isn't as regulated it may very well be worth paying more. But in the UK, with our higher standards, it simply isn't worth it.
Take the Americans. They offer 87 (with no additives), 95 with no additives and 108 87 (with additives).
Our cheapest fuel is 95 with additives, and "nearly" competes with their premium fuel.
RON is not the same as AKI.
You’re joining a dual carriageway btw ur joining the a27 towards Havant
Yes, I know I live here. What you may not understand is when you make content for an international audience, motorway is known term, dual carriageway isn't.
Never had a problem using supermarket fuel (Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury's or Morrisons) or independent stations (have heard stories about Harvest!), even in the Continent (Carrefour, Intermarche etc), whether E10 or E5.
Nothing but the best (by which I mean cheapest) fuel available for my Z1000SX and Himalayan 👍
I would have said the same
Stay away from E10 for sure,nice point spicy👌
It comes from the same fuel terminals
So does diesel and petrol but they are not the same thing. As i mentioned, I ran a station I have ordered millions in fuel from them.
My bike's 6th gear doesn't work with anything other than shell v-power lmao
Tesco momentum is amazing fuel in my PD 💥💨💨💨
Isn’t pd diesel???
@@clarky4429 yep tesco sell a fancy diesel and in my opinion and many others... it's better than Vpower and alike... it was darkside developments put me onto it
From what you heard?
You were a cashier at a petrol station. Why on earth would the company fuel supplier discuss any formulas with you?
Conspiracy theorist you, lad
Well I assume he talks to the tankers that fill the station. No?
When you work at a petrol station you are trained on all different fuel ethonols and the condition as you have to let the tanker driver know which filler is which, most the time the tanker operator will know but you under go training for this.
I ran the site and was qualified. Lol
@@nj192 sounds like a load of Chinese whispers
Tesco 99 is the best fuel in the country
I didnt realise people treated petrol like olive oil. Paying more for fuel generally isnt worth it.
I take it you do not own a bike?
@@spicy110 honda CG 125.
Right well, if you had a larger cc bike and put e10 in it on a cold day, you would know it's not the same. Also, different fuels have different additives.
I tried BP ultimate e5 but compared to shell v power e5 it made the bike feel flat with less pop/oomph,think its more noticeable in a smaller capacity bike with.only 15 bhp
@@spicy110 I get the argument of using E5 over E10. However using shell fuel of any variety over say Asda fuel of any variety because shell is the more premium product, supposedly, seems a bit extreme to me.
Obviously if you're using a highly strung machine you're going to want to do the very best you can for it but if a mass produced, globally sold motorcycle can't run well on British supermarket fuel it's a pretty hopeless machine.
IF YOU HAVE A LEXMOTO - USE E5 NO MATTER WHAT
And to add on to this, you'll find some supermarket pumps don't have E5 pumps on every section of the garage... Pay attention to the amount of pumps before pulling up but generally all shell, BP, Esso stations will have E5 at every terminal
