    125.91, which is higher than the pump price of any Topaz I've seen - although you do pay this price rather than the card price in this case.

    My local Tesco hasn't been cheapest for weeks. That and the fuels muck...

    What? Fuel prices are different in each garage??

    What's all this talk of low quality fuel? I've never heard of one batch of petrol being any different in quality to another. In what way is it muck?

    I get markedly poorly MPG off petrol bought in Tesco than anywhere else (with the exception of some no-brander in Galway once). So do many others on here.

    My parents JTDm diesels run significantly worse (noiser, rougher) on Tesco diesel than Esso, they're the local stations for them so never compared to another set.

    The diesel could be psychological. The petrol definitely isn't.

    Hm! What percent difference?
    Is there a difference in ethanol content?

    49 down to 44-45mpg. 8-9% difference and the Tesco station isn't even on my route to work (and is more expensive than stations that are).

    I'm finding that i'm taking more notice of the cost of petrol as I have been getting older. I am obviously turning into my Dad as he has being doing this for years !

    So going by the results here, if 100 people travel a certain route each day, passing 5 garages, the cheapest garage will get 70 customers and the other 4 garages will get about 8 customers each. If I owned a garage I know what way I'd be pricing my fuel!
