On Saturday I was driving back home after lovely spent day with family and at one point had to refill tank asap. Since I was on M20 driving towards Dartford crossing on M25 you all know how many services are there so at one point when I was almost on vapours just after toll I had to stop and fill tank at Esso.
Blimey what a mistake I made.
Immediately engine started to sound like it's from high power lawnmower, stalling like it's running on 3 cylinders. I filled some 20-25 litres and it lasted only 70 miles!!!!
Usually I fill only at Shell or BP and sometimes even at Tesco but almost never at Esso.
Was my experience just a single misfortune case or this poor Esso petrol quality is considered as "normal"?
I just know that in future I would rather call RAC from stopping lane than filling at Esso.
