• Supermarket Fuels 21 Jan 2015 (Forum)
  Cue debate...thoughts? Which to avoid. Sainsbury's are currently offering the cheapest fuel however, would it pay to pay the extra and fill up at the likes of Shell / BP? Also, is it true Tesco use Esso fuels - and is it any good? I use diesel in my SD, I ask because I live

  This morning, I was stuck in a 1.5 mile queue of *very* slow-moving traffic on the A33 heading towards M4 J11. With the fuel gauge in the red and the computer saying I had a range of 12 miles left in the tank, it got me wondering. How much fuel does a typical petrol engine consume (GPH) when just
