Stuart The ST3 is the newest Focus isn't it? The Orange one or I think it can be Blue?

If it is why did you change to a Works? I thought the performance was pretty comparable. I was considering one a couple of years ago but I didn't like the alloys and some of the additional go-faster trim but it looked pretty well put together.

£1.13 a litre for V Power Derv?!
What a rip-have you put the normal stuff in to see if there is any great performance diff, I know obviously your work pays for it so price won't matter to you too much!

Have we resolved whether supermarket fuel comes from same source as the name brand stuff yet?

It's gone quiet on that front!

See my post on the previous page, when I get home tonight I'll post links to the greenergy and shell web pages that show the differences in the fuel!

I know Roland recommends the Tesco 99 and I wouldn't question his judgement, but I would guess he is looking at it from a performance point of view rather than durability? I personally would never use supermarket fuels!
