Hi mate
           I have found this as well, my 25 v6 will run lumpy on the bloody tesco s**t or other supermarket crap and seems to run hotter, done a month using shell, ok more expensive but car runs like a dream, more responce, and slightly better fuel consumtion, this should improve as time goes on, i will be using shell for now on  :) :)

Well this has been a good topic to put out with mixed reviews but in the main i think high street fuel come out top. With this info i think from now on it has to be the slightly more expensive leading brand. Many thanks guys for your input Steve. :y

Thats my recommendation....but this thread shows...every one to their own...or more importantly, every CAR to their own...

Try what works for you, most people have cars long enough to try all the available fuels...

I normally use shell, but will happily use morrisons...but tesco's has to be very cheap before I will use it.

Hi
   another question in relation to what better fuel  to use is what oil do you use, and how often do you change it, doing oil changes more often due to the fact that your car is used for short journeys like me makes for better fuel comsumption as well  :)

Most (nearly all) of use will use VX own Semi oil

I change ours at somewhere not far forward of 3000 mile intervals..
Basically once the oil is looking very dark it gets changed.

at about £11 for an oil and filter change it doesnt break the bank and you can feel the difference.  :y
