Is there anyone who actually knows the truth about branded fuels and supermarket ones?

does anyone who use these "off the shelf" additives such as Millers , Wynns or whatever think they do any good ?  never used them myself  , never have done.just wonder what happens to the fuel system when you start dislodging deposits by using these cleaning agents ? 

do you get clogged fuel filters or problems with blocked injectors for a time ?

This Diesel malarkey is all brand new to me, my biggest worry has been using a green hose rather than the black! first couple of times I picked a Diesel only pump just to be on the safe side

Trouble is it's so long between fill ups now you forget again

I've just put another £30 worth of Asda Diesel in, the previous £30 was also from Asda and that lasted near on three weeks, that to me is mind boggling economy at 35mpg for the worst type driving, the old V6  used to use that a week doing the same things...must have been doing about 10 to the gallon?

use wynns injector cleaner for petrol twice a year roughly (more on the old proton) dont know if it makes any difference but the car feels better at that time. generally run it though after a service

The only explaination I can see for better mpg is that because the fuel cost you more, you drive more economically.

best fuel burns hotter.

Shell on the A63  / M62 at North Cave is / or was , 3 p  a litre LESS than Tesco.too far out for us though to make it worthwhile.

Its 200 yards to tesco's and 8miles to the nearest shell

yes i drive the 8 miles

I am big mates with the lad that delivers the tesco sub standard bio mixed sand filled crud !

if you value your motor treat it to proper fuel not this Value brand..
