I am replying to this thread on behalf of my OH he is a petrol tanker driver for a leading supermarket chain who loads out of the same terminals as Shell and other retailers, the fuel comes out of the same storage tanks for everybody. Shell do not have there own terminal it will either be Conoco terminal or LOR Total at Immingham. Hope this clarifys it.

Maybe so - fuel is fuel is fuel. But what is added to the basic fuel can make a difference, both to performance and to price.

From the Shell website:

Our differentiated fuels, which are sold under the Shell V-Power, Shell Pura and Shell Defenda brands, contain special formulations designed to enhance performance. Our research indicates that Shell now sells more differentiated fuels than anyone else.

We have also recently launched Shell Fuel Economy formula, available in our standard fuel in 19 countries.

We are developing new fuel components that can be blended with petrol and diesel for today’s cars. Shell fuels containing gas-to-liquids (GTL) fuel and biofuel blends are already on sale in many countries around the world. These fuels can offer environmental and performance benefits and can be used in existing modern engines.
