I stick with the majors, such as BP ,Esso and Shell. There is no public data about who uses what add packs etc as it's commercially very sensitive.. how do I know... Very expensive chemistry sets!
I chucked 25L of Esso Supreme Diesel in my 151K mile 11 year old 5er today at an eye-watering £1.54.9 per litre. Is it worth the 13ppl over normal Esso diesel? Is there a real advantage to using branded fuel over supermarket fuel? I don't mind paying a few ppl extra if it's worth it.
I usually fill up with whatever is cheapest and try to keep an eye on the garages I pass on a regular basis but the majority of fill ups were at Morrisons because it's the cheapest for miles. Using a different route to FoD to avoid the M5 I happened across a BP that was cheaper than Morrisions so topped the tank off with their standard diesel.

Everyone has thier own view on this.
I find that in MPG only, it's an increase in cost.
I tend to fling a couple of tanks through before MOT, and I've never had emissions fail.
It does make the car feel more responsive, and going through two tanks does have a lasting effect in mpg terms in my car.
Arw folk still spouting this supermarket fuel drivel? 🤣
