🚗💡 Thinking of filling up at your local supermarket? A top mechanic with 17 years in the game reckons you might want to think again! Reaz, owner of a successful garage, says supermarket fuel isn’t up to scratch compared to big brands like BP and Shell. He believes they lack vital detergents to keep your engine purring smoothly. His tip? Mix it up with premium and standard fuels to extend your engine’s life.
Meanwhile, Allied Autocare chimed in, saying those big name fuels have additives that boost efficiency and keep things clean. More pricey now, less costly later, they suggest!
But wait… Not everyone agrees. AllStar claims it’s a “myth” that supermarket fuels harm your car, noting that they often come from the same tanks as branded ones. Tesco backs its Momentum 99 petrol, packed with additives to keep engines tip-top, boasting a higher octane for better performance. Asda, Morrisons, and Sainsbury’s stand by their fuel quality too. 🚙💨
