Waitrose supermarket fuel - is it any good?

My local Waitrose supermarket has just changed from BP fuel to Shell.

On your advice I have avoided supermarket fuel like the plague. As I believe that Waitrose only have 12 supermarkets with fuel stations, is this Shell fuel the same as my local Shell garage?

If it's branded Shell FuelSave and V-Power then it's Shell. If it's merely supplied by Shell but branded Waitrose, then it may or may not be.
