I was interested to see everyone’s views on the use of branded fuels versus supermarket fuels (high octane only). You run in your car and your reasons for it?
Also, the same thing applies to oil when doing oil changes. we are now in an age where getting fully synthetic oil is pretty easy, but how much do you rate the typical big branded versus alternatives.
I appreciate that different additives may be used. Just interested in peoples views and experiences.
I personally use Tesco momentum and shell v power when I can, but I’ve definitely used 95 and 97 octane when the others weren’t available on road trips, et cetera.
I am yet to do a full service on my Ghibli, I will probably use the recommended shell oil as the additional cost isn’t that much. In the past in German diesels I haven’t really minded or cared too much. I think petrols are a bit of a different matter, though. Again I don’t really have a reason to believe this apart from personal choice and preference.
