Which oil company do Tesco buy this fuel from..... just wondering that all

greatwhite

They dont buy from a Oil Comany as such, more a storage/import company in Purfleet.

Its good gear had it rated and it come out at bang on 99RON.

According to this it comes from a company called Greenergy:

and the full spec is here:

I think the spec is mostly just the various limits that it needs to adhere to to meet BS 7800, I know it contains 5% bioethanol but the max percentages of alcohols are probably just limits, not typical.
