Default Where is the best place to buy Diesel?
I'd be interested to know if it makes any difference if I buy Diesel from a supermarket garage - or is a named product like BP or Shell any better?

What a damn stupid question...............

Surely you dont need help deciding which petrol station top use by asking for a vote from Passion ford Users..

Supermarket fuel (bar Tesco 99) IS lower quality than BP, Shell etc!

Thats a fact. Why do you think its cheaper?
