[QUOTE="Cowabunga, post: 7803747, member: 718"] They don't skimp on a single thing. They supply diesel that meets EN590 standard, just like every other brand. They sell cheaper because they want you to shop at the supermarket, they buy massive volumes of fuel and they take a reasonable margin. They do not charge the same everywhere and like all others they adjust their price according to the competition in the area, usually though not always undercutting them. I also doubt very much indeed that the only ones with old cars having problems with their engines buy fuel from supermarkets. All engines should run on EN590 fuel. Some older vehicles may have issues with the 7% biodiesel content, which is compulsory, mainly with leaking seals, but that is common to all brands. Some brands offer a premium additive package, but that is usually as an alternative for those customers that are willing to pay about 5ppl extra on top of their standard fuel price for whatever reason. The only diesel that did not meet EN590 DERV standard was Gasoil. Be aware that all supermarket fuel has additives included, not just Shell and BP and so on. They all have their proprietary additive package but it is all usually made for them by specialist companies like Infinium, Lubrizol, BASF and Total. There are a few others. [/QUOTE]
