Shell are always the cheapest round here in MK. (Well, 99% of the time anyway).

Nowt wrong with supermarket fuel, fast turnover so usually fresher fuel, plus it's cheap(ish).

I'd disagree with that
It's usually lower grade stuff and the quality can be very variable
The last time I put Tesco rubbish in my car it wouldn't move and it had trouble starting. It drank the stuff too
It's simply not worth it to save, what, 1 or 2 pence per litre? That's 40-80p for a typical tank? A bottle of Coke?
The only supermarket stuff that I've found to be any good is Sainsbury's Super Unleaded from the Sainsbury's store in Broadstairs. This is the exception, not the rule though

Absolute tripe 
Put in the car and it wouldnt move??? are you serious?
I stick it in anything that i have moving, it went in a bike that was run on a track recently (albeit the super unleaded version) and it goes in my 1000cc road bike without a problem whatsoever.
Honestly if you were running a turbo then maybe you might have a few problems with detonation or something but even my GT4 managed to use the Tesco stuff without complaining about it
It might be a lower grade but the car should still run fine on it, its mostly people's imagination and internet misinformation that cause this sort of problem

My little town has a BP and a Total. Both are still 98.9. A town 10 miles away which is also right on the A1 has 5 stations. They're all 93.9. The petrol stations here must realise that they have no competition and so can rip people off.

It moved, it was just far less responsive and it ran rougher than when it was on better quality fuel
