History of Tesco Petrol in the UK

Tesco first started selling petrol in 1974 and has since diversified into biofuels. The company sells various grades of petrol and diesel, including blends with bioethanol and biodiesel. In 1998, Tesco formed a business alliance with Esso (part of ExxonMobil), leading to several petrol filling stations on lease from Esso, with Tesco operating the attached shops under its Express format.

While additives used in fuel blends are industry secrets, it is known that Tesco and Shell, among others, source their base fuel from the same places. There is no significant difference in the base fuels used by Tesco and Shell.

Is Tesco Fuel Good?

Tesco fuel, like all fuel sold in the UK, adheres to strict quality standards. There is no substantial evidence to suggest that Tesco fuel is of lower quality than fuel sold by other retailers. The base fuel and additives used by Tesco are similar to those used by other major fuel brands, ensuring a consistent level of quality across all providers.

What Brand of Fuel is Tesco?

Tesco sells its own branded fuel. For its Super Unleaded petrol, Tesco offers "Momentum 99," which is comparable to other high-performance fuels. This fuel often comes from the same terminals, tanks, and arms as those used by other brands.
