I have not used tesco derv in a long time it is fooking shite , car didn't
like it and smoked like a tractor , it is also one of the dearest in my area .
Think none tesco shoppers pay for those who spend £50 and get 5p a litre off.
I have used asda derv and that has been ok and cheaper but mostly pay the
extra and use shell .
.. ooh are those drugs for me Matron

I run my Pug of nothing but Veg oil and Tesco diesel.
Never had a problem, and when I switched to any other diesel I never noticed any other issues either?

Saying that I run my Focus on tesco fuel too?

texaco stations are robbing phuckers. never used one and never will. as goes for the shell stations around my area. they all look run down charge 5p per litre more than every1 else. oh and the BP one does the same as well. put £20 in and fuel gauge doesnt move.

morrisons i use. its on my estate and closest. never have any problems with it. and i get miles points. get 5000 points and get a £5 voucher for in store

15 points per litre :mrgreen:

Always seems to have a yellow tinge to it

The problem with the diesel here is that there is a lot of places doing washed diesel (red diesel converted to clear illegally) that stuff just wrecks everything especially fuel pumps. So you need to stay at the big companies like bp and shell to make sure it's good diesel

I've always used Tesco diesel & never noticed any problems. Might try a couple of tanks from Shell though & see if the mpg improves.

Would this not be the Tesco Value Adblue that you're seeing?
