Default Help - my local Shell Garage has gone

Hi all,
as it say in the post my local Shell garage has been replaced by a BP. I've only ever run my saff on VPower and was wondering if anyone ran theirs on the BP equivalent? If so is there any difference? Otherwise it's a 30 odd mile round trip to fill up.....

Any thoughts much appreciated.

Forgot to say the car. 1990 4x4 Sapphire, with the red top. I was hoping the BP would be the equivalent, haven't been in a Tesco's for years! Jst always heard good things about Shell and stuck with it for years.

I use anything super unleaded grade and that's in a tuned car, personal choice though but i don't have time in my life to fanny about only buying one brand of petrol. My friend does this also, I've never really understood the logic.

Hi all,
thanks for the replies. Looks like I don't need to worry too much! Just remembered lots of stories about supermarket fuel etc a few years ago so stuck with Shell ever since. Right - off for some petrol.
