Best diesel fuels - Emben
Honest John mentioned certain brands - Shell and Texaco - being best for diesel engines. Are these the only two - what about the BPs and Q8s etc? And can anyone tell me how much better the two mentioned will be for my brand new 1.8TDci engine?

ok - I just read all the earlier responses to Lucy T - but can anyone tell me about Q8 diesel which is my local and offers 2p off with Waitrose vouchers making it my cheapest and nearest.

We're still waiting for the objective evidence on this one. Not anecdotal stuff from readers. Someone to give us the science bit...
I still hold to the view that they're all pretty much the same and that perceived differences are ....well, just that...perceived! Go with the 2p off, I say.

I'm fortunate that within 1 mile of my front door I have Tesco, Somerfield, BP, Texaco and Shell all trying to prise my fuel £££ from my wallet. As a result, they are all cheap, so Shell it is. Should the prices change, then I would have to think again.
