The other day I traded my 15 year old Arosa for a 1.3ltr Diesel Mito.
I drove to my usual garage to ask if they could still work on my new car.
He said yes they could but added. DO NOT USE SUPERMARKET DIESEL.
Any ideas on using supermarket diesel.
Thanks in advance.
Hi, congrats on buying the Mito with the best engine
I've used Asda's diesel for the past two and a half years (54,000 miles) and had no problems at all, I do 95% motorway driving and am getting a steady 54mpg.....I don't hang about.
supermarket diesel still has to meet the normal standards set by the powers that be, but i have never ever used supermarket fuel and i'm sure thousands have with no problems at all .there is a but though as usually just meets the lowest standards necessary by law and especially with diesel it can long term clogg things up more so then better quality diesel .. put it another way. i try to eat fresh produces and i dont eat too much processed food, sure its food although in some cases it only just about qualifies as food. aka supermarket fuel ..
We've been running diesels for 12 years now, and usually use supermarket fuel, but roughly every 4th tank will be shell/BP due to the extra additives they put in. If you do mostly short journeys it may be better to use "premium" fuel more often
I only ever use supermarket fuel. Morrisons and tesco have their own oil fields and refineries you know, it's not as if they buy if from one of the big five refiners and then sell it cheaper because the others add various kinds of snake oil to it then charge you more for the privilege.
i am getting a alfa romeo spider, 2007 model. 2.4JTDM and wonder what the best diesel grade to use as it has a DPF
