    Does anyone know anything about the quality of fuel from independent fuel stations. Many of them are alot cheaper for diesel. One in the city centre here is 5 cent/litre cheaper then the rest.

    Is it the same standard fuel as the shell and texaco garages?

    Assuming they're not selling illegal product, its the same basic fuel as a branded station. There are minimal sources of legal fuel in Ireland (Dublin Port, the Whitegate refinery, possibly Cork Port).

    There is some variance that can be caused by after-delivery additives or utterly ****e maintenance of pumps/equipment.

    Remember that a lot of "branded" stations are independent franchisers to begin with.
