Not necessarily.
Basically, if your car has a knock sensor it can advance the ignition to benefit from higher octane fuel, with more power, better fuel consumption or both. If it doesn't, there's no benefit from higher octane fuel, and you may as well run standard unleaded. In fact, you may even see worse performance from higher octane fuel.
My Caterham race car doesn't have a knock sensor, so I run it on standard supermarket unleaded. If there was even one horsepower to be gained by running expensive fuel, I wouldn't hesitate to do so.
There is also the question of additives and detergents. Some would argue that the better fuels have better additive packages, but I'm very sceptical. I'll run the occasional tank of Shell V-Power, but I doubt it makes a difference. Then again my engine gets rebuilt every couple of years, so there's not much chance for gunge to build up.

Whilst I agree with your comment on buffering against price movement these forecourts increase the pump price immediately when oil barrel prices increase. It should work both ways right?

To be absolutely fair the Z4 is still 231bhp, which will still outperform most standard road cars. In terms of 'sports' quality though it will be drastically lacking. The Mazda 6 clocks at 252 bhp without even attempting to call itself a sports car.

The duty on fuel is around 72p + VAT. I may be a penny or two out.
So it really isn't poor value, unless you can build an oil rig, drill, transport it, refine it, move it again sell it and make a profit yourself.
The Govt. sets the base price, ie the Duty+VAT. Anything above is a bonus. If it was sold by the garage for 1p the price would still have the Duty+VAT added.

Lol Z4s are cheap as chips these days. Hell even brand new. I lump them in the range of Porsche Boxsters and Mercedes SLKs - i.e. cars for people who can't afford the premium models (i.e. M4, 911 and C/S Class, respectively - all of which come as convertibles also) but want to look like they're rich.
They're fitting for women but it's a bit sad to see a grown man in it if you ask me.

new model comes out next year. toyota making the hard top version and its the new supra. bmw making the softop version and its the new z4. so bmw going back to sof top after latest z4 convertible was hatdtop convertible. im saving up for the supra personally. ill keep my current z4 for when i want the roof down

Petrols deals are deals worth chasing.
Why? Because if people gravitate towards the fuel that is cheaper then it puts pressure on all the other sellers to reduce prices and gets them competing against each other.
If everybody just pays what they ask then they are not going to be inclined to reduce the price.

It has everything to do with octane ratings mate.
You should be putting in the rated fuel you car was optimized to run on. In your case along with the mini , im sure if you check behind both fuel lids it will have 98 stamped on it. Yeah i know it will run on less.
I would suggest you stick to one octance rated, i.e.99 and let your fuel trim adapt and you may find a better return from your engine.
Heat for deal and lowest cost fuel around.

Yeah, it's almost as though they purchase in advance to buffer against movement but at the same time being contractually obligated to pay their suppliers at the market rate if it increases.
Maybe moaners like yourself would like to setup as a fuel supplier nationwide, selling millions of liters of fuel a week and take a 2 million loss on every wholesale decrease just because little old Mable in her 1.2 15 year old Fiesta thinks she is being done over on the £10 of petrol she puts in a month and wants to see prices reflected at the pump instantly and screw the million liters you have in the forecourt tanks and on the way to them that has been purchased at a higher price.

I've just purchased a xbox one s for a brilliant price from a post on here ordered online so doesn't cost me anytime.

Either way that was poor advice about fuel. Adding a certain type isn't about perceived desirability, it's about what your car was designed to take. Premium diesels are a waste of money - extra detergents/Cetane boosters are much cheaper per L to add yourself. Tesco Momentum is every bit as good as Shell V-power and around 15p/L cheaper. Whether you're driving an Audi S3 or a Bugatti Veyron, both fuels will do the same job on a car set up to run on higher octane fuel.

if you own a run of the mill car then you would be throwing money away buying performance fuel. you should always be buying wherever is cheapest. it wont ruin your car at all. biggest myth out there.
if you own something worth talking about then tesco momentum is good enough. if you own something people stop and stare at and take pics then run v power or bp ultimate.
simple as that really.
so the wife uses asda fuel in her bmw mini. i use momentum or bp ultimate (whichever is closest) in my 3 litre bmw 2 door convertible sports car.

After just coming back from Switzerland and seeing their prices, i'd say we get off lightly.
One of the cheapest countries in western Europe for fuel.

Cold. Don't see the point in these "deals". Only saving a few pence and it's overpriced anyway.

Yes you are the first. Be sure to show your Muppet Membership card on the way out.

Because the fuel meets the minimum standard your car was designed to run on.

Simple fact: it's not crap that's just coming out of your mouth
I understand the supermarket sub-standard dilemma but its a choice people make (me included to mix) and the saving to most of us are worth while. It's a hot deal, just look at the number of votes and understand most people on this website are here to find (and share) money saving deals.

No mate, Brexit made it this expensive to start with. Seeing as the pound fell greatly vs the dollar, and oil is priced in dollars. made it more.

Basically, if your car has a knock sensor it can advance the ignition to benefit from higher octane fuel, with more power, better fuel consumption or both. If it doesn't, there's no benefit from higher octane fuel, and you may as well run standard unleaded. In fact, you may even see worse performance from higher octane fuel.
My Caterham race car doesn't have a knock sensor, so I run it on standard supermarket unleaded. If there was even one horsepower to be gained by running expensive fuel, I wouldn't hesitate to do so.
There is also the question of additives and detergents. Some would argue that the better fuels have better additive packages, but I'm very sceptical. I'll run the occasional tank of Shell V-Power, but I doubt it makes a difference. Then again my engine gets rebuilt every couple of years, so there's not much chance for gunge to build up.
Please do not defend the unscrupulous business practices of this industry (and others) when it comes to maximising profits!
Like Supermarkets, often the cheapest one is the closest one or the one you're passing.
So it really isn't poor value, unless you can build an oil rig, drill, transport it, refine it, move it again sell it and make a profit yourself.
The Govt. sets the base price, ie the Duty+VAT. Anything above is a bonus. If it was sold by the garage for 1p the price would still have the Duty+VAT added.
to get Ethanol free fuel now .Did try to get ethanol free for vintage motor bike as it
caused issues . Murco and Esso supreme was suppose to be ethanol free but tested it
myself (quite easy) all had about 5%
Time to upgrade to a BMW Mini methinks........ :stuck_out_tongue:
Oh I do have a BMW as well , but I am going to keep that quiet now...lol :smirk:
Only Esso Supreme with no alcohol added..
my previous comment was not a serious one, as I could have an hour long conversation about pretty much any car
They're fitting for women but it's a bit sad to see a grown man in it if you ask me.
there is a coupe available for around £5k too however for a decent one your looking at £15k+. brand new the z4 is eol and cannot be ordered any more.
new model comes out next year. toyota making the hard top version and its the new supra. bmw making the softop version and its the new z4. so bmw going back to sof top after latest z4 convertible was hatdtop convertible. im saving up for the supra personally. ill keep my current z4 for when i want the roof down
Why? Because if people gravitate towards the fuel that is cheaper then it puts pressure on all the other sellers to reduce prices and gets them competing against each other.
If everybody just pays what they ask then they are not going to be inclined to reduce the price.
It's a good job that Costco can purchase and sell at a price that is always lower than the competition.
Maybe you should consider joe bloggs who fills up £20 a week rather than poor old Mable who spends £2.50 a week in your example
You should be putting in the rated fuel you car was optimized to run on. In your case along with the mini , im sure if you check behind both fuel lids it will have 98 stamped on it. Yeah i know it will run on less.
I would suggest you stick to one octance rated, i.e.99 and let your fuel trim adapt and you may find a better return from your engine.
Heat for deal and lowest cost fuel around.
Maybe moaners like yourself would like to setup as a fuel supplier nationwide, selling millions of liters of fuel a week and take a 2 million loss on every wholesale decrease just because little old Mable in her 1.2 15 year old Fiesta thinks she is being done over on the £10 of petrol she puts in a month and wants to see prices reflected at the pump instantly and screw the million liters you have in the forecourt tanks and on the way to them that has been purchased at a higher price.

disgusting.
i wondered why they were doing this.
they kept putting 1p up every week.
avoid sainsburys guys!
Just don't stand near any lit flames. You might get a bit toasty like
Costco for me.
Diesel or petrol?
Either way that was poor advice about fuel. Adding a certain type isn't about perceived desirability, it's about what your car was designed to take. Premium diesels are a waste of money - extra detergents/Cetane boosters are much cheaper per L to add yourself. Tesco Momentum is every bit as good as Shell V-power and around 15p/L cheaper. Whether you're driving an Audi S3 or a Bugatti Veyron, both fuels will do the same job on a car set up to run on higher octane fuel.
What car does 690 miles on 45 liters?
Yes BMW own mini but its not a BMW
Today @ 8.35am 114.7
Today @ 7.25pm 112.7
I never even looked at price , drove it , fuelled and out
Thanks for the insight. Want to make an effort in actually posting something useful instead ?
Mine has a 55L tank and will only get max 450 miles out of the tank.
Edit: i say elite because that's what they call themselves via the media. But they're professional scum.
if you own something worth talking about then tesco momentum is good enough. if you own something people stop and stare at and take pics then run v power or bp ultimate.
simple as that really.
so the wife uses asda fuel in her bmw mini. i use momentum or bp ultimate (whichever is closest) in my 3 litre bmw 2 door convertible sports car.
Thanks for the post OP :smiley:. Heat added!

But im not so sure he grasps octane ratings tho :wink:
its worth looking after better cars so worth buying better fuel.
for instance if you just bought a new car for £30k + then id reccomend momentum purely because it has 4 times the additives normal tesco fuel has

Why do people think cars are status symbols? Most of them aren't owned outright and the vast majority depreciate.
My old mum used to have a saying for people like that. All fur coat and no knickers.
