Just thought I'd warn people about Morrisons petrol. I filled up there about 5 days ago and since then my car developed a misfire which got worse and worse. Cold start it was misfiring constantly and even when warm it would misfire and hesitate on throttle and judder about. My car is mapped for 95ron fuel, so it should be fine but the problem went as soon as I ran it to empty and filled up with Tesco 99. I thought I'd put 99 in as I seriously doubt Morrisons petrol is even 95ron. I also got FAR less MPG with this crappy fuel, so BE WARNED!

i live 1mile away from shell and last time i went there for v power was £1.38 a litre yet if i drive 5miles down the motorway to blackpool its around 40p a litre cheaper, Shell must be making some nice profits!

morrison and tesco have sh#t fuel, there was a test conducted on all the fuels and Shell came out on top! Normal 95 is 89.9 from shell now with v-power being 106 i think, i use v-power on the skyline as it just dont run on anthing else, splutters and farts on anything less, i use normal 95 on williams from shell and runs fine, got 320 miles to a tank the other day....... thats good for me always doin 70-80+ mph 110 mile round trip a day with the williams :roll: :shock:

Could just be a bad batch or the dregs of the tank you got.

Remember the Tesco incident? lol

I've used Morrisons fuel a few times and not had any problems.

we have about 5 cars IIRC under investigation at the moment because of poor fuel, 3 of which are less than 18 months old and all of which are believed to be regular users of Morrisons fuel, i dont think the fuel is bad in general but they seem to have had a bad batch recently especially at the site in the town centre

ive seen the fuel taken from the tanks, and the amount of crap in it is a joke !

id hope my 15yr old valver doesnt have a tank in the condition of some of them
