'fraid not.The major brands add their own additives to the tankers.

Not quite.

They ALL have a bio-content.

Its the other additives that make a difference.

Supermarket fuel has JUST enough additives to meet the BS spec.
Branded fuel MAY have more additives to exceed the BS spec.
And the super fuels like Ultmate etc PROBABLY have even more additives.

And don't forget the Shell Formula fiasco ! 9 out of 10 people said it was crap, it was only when Police forces threatened to sue that Shell started listening.

:lol: if only it was that simple Rolleyes

I think we've established that all fuel has a certain Biofuel content, but that exact amount and the amount of any other additives can and does vary.

So they are ALL different, potentially.

But are any BETTER than others? :whistle:
