We will finely be getting an Asda filling station it opens on the 29 TH of November, and apparently they charge the same price nationwide.
This will stop the 2 other filling stations from riping us off they are charging £123.9 at the moment

117.9p here yesterday skip.
Probably be going up soon, everyone elses has.

ASDA diesel is sh1te, I'd sooner pay that extra 5p per litre and know I'm getting good stuff. It's only an extra 25p on top of a gallon for decent fuel. How much fuel can you get for 25p?

118.9 here.

I will remind you of that quote everytime the fuel duty increases.

Grandad,

You can quote me all you like grandad. I moan about the Fuel duty increases because it means more money to the Goverment.

Going to a garage 1 mile away to save 25p on a gallon of fuel is stupididty IMO.

So if you buy 10 gallons at a time you hand over £2.50, just for the hell of it.

I know fuel went up 1p per liter at the beginning of the month, shell and esso where 119.9 so it should have gone to 120.9 but it went strait to 123.9

As all fuel has to reach a certain standard, [BS EN 590] what (besides ultimate) makes BP better than Asda?



( I know there must be something besides cost, as we have a refinery on our doorstep, but Asda fuel is delivered by ship to it's own depot in the docks).


edit to add 117.9 ASDA, 119.9/121.9 BP (2 garages in town, guess which one's at a M9 slip-road)

My heart is heavy, but my consience clear,
I voted Yes, without any fear.

For what it's worth, I never buy fuel from ASDA, Tesco, Sainsbury or Jet.

Some years ago, the London cab trade found out that there was not the same amount of lubricant in those fuel (to lubricate the vehicle fuel pump) & with time fuel pumps were failing prematurely.

The only thing that these boys are good for is to reduce the price of fuel in the major fuel stations in the area that they have their outlets.

im "trialling" Shells "fuelsaver" diesel at 117.9/ltr and my mpg has risen over the magic 50mpg figure for 3 tankfulls



(actual brim-brim/miles mpg, not on the trip)

i'll second that, only use Esso or Shell in my TX2, never touched tesco and was once stuck and used Asda, never again, the car run like a bag of nails.

It's the low sulphur content thats taken the lubrication properties out of it.

Theres no ASDA, Tesco or Sainsbury tanks at the depots (look on google earth at kingsbury M44/j9-10), what you will see is signwritten tankers in the suppliers yard, they buy it in bulk in its basic form, and the supplier transport it, they (the stores) sell at a loss, cos they can, to get the public into thier stores

but the gap is nil now, shell branded is no dearer than tesco

a few years ago in 1 budget, im sure low sulphur diesel got reduced fuel duty, but it was supposed to be passed on at the pumps, now its nearly all low sulphur, and you can buy your own common rail high pressure pumps matery

My cousin works in the Oil industry and has done since he left school many years ago.

He's worked all over the world, Saudi, Iraq (before it all kicked off), America, Canada and the top end of Russia.

He's now a Manager for a major worldwide Oil Company which has it's own refineries based across the UK.

Like I've mentioned before Esso, Shell, Total, Texaco and BP "do not refine fuel for the Supermarkets". The Supermarkets use a non UK 3rd party supplier who buy a residue from the big 5 Oil companies and refine it adding some bio oil to bulk it up and make it into car fuel.

The residue left is from the Crude Oil, it's pumped under high pressure into the refineries where they make petrol, Diesel, Propane gas, Road surfacing Bituman, Fuel for Power Stations like Lubricants and grease, Fuel for Aeroplanes (Kerosine), materials for chemicals and plastics.

Run a new Diesel motor from new for 5000 miles on Supermarket fuel then, run a new motor for the same 5000 miles on branded fuel with all the addatives.

Take the high pressure fuel pump and Turbo off along with the injectors, remove the head and compare the 2 engines. The results will stun you.

The same goes for Petrol, Supermarket Petrol makes a car engine run at a much higher temprature causing untold damage to the engines injectors, you'll also get a lag when Supermarket fuel is added to a car.

Run on Supermarket fuel at your own Peril.
