Forums Forums Enthusiast Forums A - Z Autowirral Wirral's Cheapest Petrol ?

i am never going to use super market petrol as it is c rap PROVEN lower octane levels. you test it out and you will be amazed. if some one has performance ford from a couple of months ago you will find that super market petrol compared to optimax there was 30bhp increase when using optimax.

bout 3 yrs ago there was a petrol station in neston five ways on chester high road which had a water percentage of 30 this was due to cheap c rap and a leak with the cover

Although I agree that supermarket petrol is of somewhat lower quality then major oil companies and there is evidence in the past of Tesco watering down their petrol, do you have any evidence to back up your claims that the type of petrol being used icreased the BHP by 30BHP.

Even for high performance engines which can take advantage of increased Octane levels found in Optimax, 30BHP sounds a bit too much. Plus Tesco now do 99RON (Optimax is 98RON - V-Power which will replace Optimax one day is 100RON), so presumably this would be better, although it probably wont be as high quailty and as refined as the likes of Optimax.

will try and find the mag. this test was on a 500 bhp cosworth engine.

prob only increase a 2.0 by 5hp tops

I used to fill up at tescos, but last week I filled up at an esso garage and noticed quite a large increase in performance. mind you, I did try that redex to clean out my injectors too

According to experts, using Shell Optimax and BP Ultimate, is as good as adding Redex and other fuel addatives. And it should work out about the same price, maybe cheaper, as you only need a couple of full tanks for it to clean effectively.

I use a Wynns Xtreme triple pack once every six months/at every oil change, does not make a great deal of difference but it does seem slightly more responsive.

That would be a good place to continue the pros and cons with petrol

As I was driving around yesturday,
i couldnt find anywhere cheap at all.

If you spot a cheap fuel (Petrol / Diesel)
Please post below.

The cheapest price I have been able to find is the Shell's in Moreton and Upton @ 93.9p per litre.

At least while the price may be extremely high at the moment, it seems to have settled a bit this last week or so at around the 95p per litre mark. The rate at which the price was increasing in the previous three weeks was starting to give me nightmares about it hitting £1.00 a litre!!!

ok

BUMP
