No. You get what you pay for. Supermarket fuel is cheap because it's cheerful - my car hates it! I'd collect the points if they meant I could use them for anything useful, but the ones I see offer me a hideously small discount (like, buy 1000 gallons, get one free) or an endless collection of things I don't need!!
Easing off the loud pedal and getting another 10% better mpg is the best way I can find of saving fuel. Having used the latest Shell FuelSave, I do think that goes a smidge further, and I've got more miles from the same tankful. However, my Volvo (Ford) diesel engine likes Esso best - gives it more go!!
It's boring doing 10mph less on the motorway, and treating the loud pedal like it's got an egg under it I don't want to break, but it's saving me money.
