    Or the type of men who prefer manual gears because "they give you more control"

        I picture it being somewhat like a Tesco Esso

          We have an automatic. It definitely has less control when there's snow, can't get the damn thing up the drive

            Some would think that there are no differences but I have certainly noticed a difference between Supermarket, Branded and Supermarket + Fuel Additives.

            1. Supermarket fuel - 47mpg + Injector issues
            2. Branded fuel - 52mpg
            3. Supermarket fuel + Additives = 64mpg + Great pickup & performance

              This conversation about saving pence on a litter is for beta cucks used to taking blame for everything in the world.

              Maybe we should normalise doing coke and running everywhere.

              It'll be all organic.

                I've seen the same tanker lorries first go to Esso and then go to Tesco next door, similar with BP and Sainsbury's, so sounds like BS to me

                  I have never followed a tanker, so I can only presume something is amiss to the naked eye. So I posted an image showing the fact. Of course I understand there could be other factors which may alter one's experience and perception.

                    I think I've noticed a slight difference between the new E10 petrol and the "go faster" N97 petrol.

                    The latter seems to make uphill driving slightly nippier, although it's hard to be sure, and I think modern engines largely compensate for either.

                      Just went to the supermarket via my 3 local petrol stations. Prices for petrol vary from 151.9 to 155.9. why would I fill up at the most expensive one?
