Now if this is a real effect why are these 2 companies not making as much
fuss about it as Honest John does?


I know the fuel purchasing guy at a major UK supermarket chain through work
and according to him it's true, of his brand.

Whether it will affect individual cars appreciably enough to be *noticeable*
is another matter. I suspect mostly not.

The reason the 2 companies you mentioned aren't making a fuss is probably
because they supply the supermarkets and would lose that supply position if
they publicly announced that they supply them with an inferior quality. It
might be true but Asda (or whoever) would be pretty unhappy.


The Asda U/L pumps in Derby clearly state 'contains detergent
additive'. They still have LRP (which also contains detergent) and no
Premium U/L.
