Fuel is never part of the deal unless you specifically ask for it.  I always insist on the car being brimmed before collection, one of the first things I negotiate!

Exactly.  Come on guys, everyone knows its the final deal closer..  :grin:  When you squeezed all you can , ask for the full tank of fuel, its worth another £60 or more !

Then they nip down to the supermarket and put in the cheapest and nastiest stuff possible. No thanks, for the sake of £50 I'd rather full it up myself and know from the outset the engine is getting the best start to life.

Makes no odds to me - there is no proof that more expensive fuel provides better performance and prolongs engine life.  I've been using supermarket fuels in my Mk5 GTI for years, and it has been as reliable and consistent as ever.  Make sure you drain what is in your tank first though, don't want that premium stuff getting contaminated!

Ouch, I can see we're going to get on like a house on fire on this forum. You stick to your cheap stuff and wave goodbye to a few ponies and ill stick to my premium brands

I bought from the same dealer in Glasgow as you (Crow Road) and had to pay extra for fuel on delivery! Another £25!!!
