Its not super unleaded.
I have succumbed to the marketing and put the branded petrol in. Anything that may gives an element of protection to the engine at maxy trundge gets a tick in my book.

Tesco 99 is. That's what I've used for years now. I like it.
The issues with shell nitro put me off a bit.

I use C/H oil at 47p/Lt. as the Honda will run on anything.

I use Asda fuel quite often, never had any issues.
Morrisons diesel on the other hand was causing all sorts of problems with our taxis- I ended up having to tell the drivers not to use it.

My mechanic has reliably informed me to stay away from supermarket fuel, (esp diesel which can often have a higher biofuel content).

Low oil prices are rubbish, when the prices are high sub-con engineering is busy.

I used to pay attention to the fuel we used. But since none of our cars have expensive tastes - we're talking Skoda, MINI, geriatric Elise remember - I just rock up to whatever's closest when I can bear the warning light nagging no longer
My current fave is Shell vpower because it allows me to buy limited edition Lego Ferrari models for £2 a shot.
