Default Costco

I also use Costco when I can. Not only is it generally the cheapest, the premium diesel does seem to improve my MPG slightly.

I just wish there was a Costco fuel station near me.

The cheapest, but usually Tesco because it's closest

There is no Costco station near me. To be honest never heard of it

Do you noticed only MPG improvement or is something else too

BP - not only the closest but they also have AdBlue pumps which I've not seen anywhere else.

Another vote for Costco here. It's a 10 minute drive from the house and they sell supposedly "premium" diesel for the same price (sometimes a few p cheaper) than other local petrol stations sell standard diesel.
Does it make any difference? I have no idea but it's the only type of diesel they sell, so that's what I buy.

There are a few Costco shops across the country, not all of them have fuel stations though.

I have only noticed the MPG difference.

Yeah, less than three miles around London

Really not the car for good MPG in London with such short journeys.

Stick it on longer journeys and motorways and you should be looking at 50mpg +.

Costco's, it all comes from the same refineries, just additives added for each brand.
