I was actually reading a few articles on the times online... they were saying that in the last year or so many companies have started watering down fuel. Tesco, BP and ESSO are on their list for doing it. Also that the diesel you buy from there, its mainly a higher blend of Biodiesel. Hmmmmm, just a tought!!!! unless its ur CTS, aint that right guys????
