  IAM warns of council cutbacks over winter 31 Oct 2011 (News)
  IAM chief executive Simon Best said: “Roads are essential for the economy – not only in rural areas where cars are the only way to get around but also on the main routes that keep our economy moving. “Ambulances, supermarket food deliveries, meals on wheels, utilities, even the armed forces, all rely on having a usable road network. Last year, parts of Scotland nearly ran out of food and fuel. The 24-hour, just-in-time logistics system simply wasn’t able to cope with the weather.”

  Honest John's Motoring Agony Column 16-5-2015 16 May 2015 (News)
  The garage we bought it from is saying we have to pay for the draining of the tank because of water in the fuel and the damage it has caused to the injectors, because we put the fuel in the tank. We have contacted our filling station (a supermarket) that confirmed and showed us reports proving that its tanks had 0% water on the date we purchased the fuel.

  Honest John's Motoring Agony Column 13-6-2015 13 Jun 2015 (News)
  Does the modern petrol engine in my Lexus RX take time to adjust the ECU, does it happen instantly or does something else need to be done? PC, St Albans All modern engines are optimised for the best fuel in order to get the best results in the ECDC tests. On standard fuels they don't run as well.     Limp excuses I have a 2008 Volvo C30, which has developed a fault that the garage seems unable to find. The car will suddenly flag up a warning saying "Reduced Engine Performance" and then it goes into Limp mode.  If I pull over and switch off, and re-start it will normally clear and run normally. This can happen 4 - 5 times over the first 10 miles and then it seems to clear, although it will happen once or twice again on a long journey. The garage has changed the fuel filter and also the Mass Air Flow sensor, but still the problem is there.  Any ideas as to what might be causing this?

  Would I be asking for trouble with a diesel engine for the lifestyle described or has time and German engineering made the clogging problems a thing of the past? (I’m not so worried about fuel cost, just the risk of engine problems.) PR, Cheltenham Unless you drive the car greater distances, then you probably will have problems. It's not the total amount of use the car gets; it's the length of the runs it does after starting from cold.

• Supermarket Fuel - Quality? 25 Sep 2005 (Forum)
  I have read recently that certain BMW engines (manufactured in the 90's) were the subject of a recall to prevent possible damage due to high sulphur content 'mainly in low quality supermarket unleaded' Is supermarket fuel really any different in quality to branded fuel - I do recall hearing this claim many years ago when the supermarkets started selling fuel and were undercutting local garages but is this still the case.
• Heavy Heavy (Supermarket) Fuel 8 Jan 2004 (Forum)
  HJ, You have talked often about fuel quality, and especially supermarket grades. Can you tell me whether when I see an Esso lorry pulling up at Asda's filling stations, and Texaco at Morrison's supermarket filling stations, are they delivering the same grade of fuel as that delivered to their own filling stations, or do the supermarkets buy an inferior grade?
