Will supermarket fuel damage my injectors?

I have heard that supermarket fuel damages the fuel injectors and its best to use non supermarket fuel - is this true?

There is no evidence to suggest that supermarket fuel is inferior quality, as they conform to the same British standards as any other fuel sold and are supplied by many of the same large refineries. Premium fuels such as Shell V-Power may offer additional benefits thanks to additives designed to reduce wear, but you should experience no problems from using supermarket fuels.
