Fuel Any probs with Texaco Fuel?

vtidan · 4th September 2007, 16:34

Has anyone experienced any problems with Texaco low sulphur diesel fuel? I dont know weather its the particular petty station or Texaco diesel itself? I have filled up at this particular station twice and both times my civic has felt noticably slower and the MPG has worsened by about 3 or 4 MPG! Im wondering if the fuel ahs been in the tank for a long time maybe?

I've never had any problems with it, use it the odd time at the filling station on the way home from work. No noticable difference.

I reckon the problem is more likely to be with that particular station than with the Texaco fuel......

strange. It defo makes a difference to the performance and economy.

I wondered that. They could have a problem with one or more of the tanks.

Safe bet,

Can't go wrong with the BP ultimate... It's great

Unfortunately we have nowhere that sells BP Ultimate on the Isle of Wight.

I filled up once with Texaco diesel and will not use it again. I struggled to get 40mpg and it was mostly motorway driving.

Im currently trying normal Shell to see what it's like as I usually use BP Ultimate.

The only problem I have with Texico is the price! Always seems to be the most expensive petrol around here.....
