Surprised that there's no (or little) discussion of supermarket fuel in this forum.
See my other post last month - https://www.fiatforum.com/panda-iii/422549-initial-start-up-ignition-2.html?p=4054048
Also you can read about Branded vs Supermarket fuels - www.simplemotoring.co.uk/supermarket-vs-branded-fuels/
The reason I'm posting this is that I have found my Panda 1.2 Easy quite sluggish with Tesco's unleaded fuel, especially on pulling off. It happened shortly after it had its first fill-up with Tesco fuel and I thought it was due to the engine being new. However, I switched to different brand such as Texaco and Maxol, it has been great since then.
Last week, my car was cutting out unexpectedly when I tried pulling out of the junction and I was a bit puzzled at first but then I remembered that I had my car filled up with Tesco fuel a few days earlier and it continued struggling to pull out of junctions or hill smoothly. Leaving the throttle alone while lifting the clutch didn't work as well as it normally do.
All is well again after I filled it up with Texaco's last Saturday!
From now on, Tesco petrol is no-no! :nono:
