News 24 are saying that tesco and morrison's petrol have had ethanol put in the petrol which is making cars start juddering, misfiring and loss of power. Only happening in the south east of england at the moment.
My car is started to judder and i no it is a 1.2 8v but it has lost power
GREAT!!!!!!!

Might be why my car has felt like its been holding back quite a bit, I always use tesco's because of the points so i can get vouchers for more petrol Bye bye tesco for now though and see what happens.

I love the way everyone over-reacts
I put Tesco petrol in my car earlier, on the offchance that it DOES fuck up, then Vauxhall will repair it and I can get them to fit the gear linkage at the same time

My car has started to judder within the last couple of weeks which is why i brought some new leads but it has made no difference.
But i do feel people are going to think their car is going wrong now if they have filled up at tesco.
