Sounds like a good plan unless like me you would not touch any fuel from these companies! I found that it will increase your fuel consumption by about 20% so it will cost you around £10 on a tank to save £2! clever marketing!!
Ow do Mr Springer
Ive heard and read the comments on Supermarket fuel... But wats wrong with the fuel from Esso & Shell...
Why not £10 cash back when you spend £2?
I am not convinced on the Supermarket vs branded fuel argument. The engine still injects the fuel at the same rate and the additives the put in are very low in ppm terms. The stanolw refinery serves all of the petrol stations for many miles including all the BP, ESSO and supermarket chains.
I always use an aditive when I fill up, I use Millers Ecomax, been around for years under a few names, I don't like supermarket fuel, but the otherweek I filled up with tesco fuel put the additive in and it has done about same mpg, no loss in performance, so I am going to carry on using it, until I think it's time to stop.

Think it's a wise move using fuel additive Gary.
We use Forte products now and again, but would only use supermarket fuel rarely or if no other easily accessible.
This has been talked to death on other forums, and there is plenty of advice on the internet that warns from regular use of Supermarket fuel.
There is no doubt that premium fuel although expensive, does improve MPG and certainly makes for better running engines on the diesels and petrol (bikes).
I know people will refute the negatives about using supermarket fuel, but it's their choice and I am happy paying more for hopefully more longevity and certainly smoother running engines.
I see nothing wrong in your original post. In fact its a post to help other users, exactly the kind of post that should be encouraged rather than the constant " hello im new can you help me " posts
I'm only talking from experience! I have 2 BP cards and a Shell card, I fill up with BP and average around 550 miles per tank (sometimes more sometimes less depending on either motorway or London type driving, I tried Shell for a week and the best I got was 380, now as an ex-motorcycle mechanic/MOT tester with 28 years experience I thought fuel was fuel bit it's not! I can only tell you what I have found if you find usefull fair do's if you don't tough.

His choice of topic and motive to help other people are excellent. The original post contained a lot of non-information such as links and tags etc from the website it was copied and pasted from. It was illegible. Post illegible content on the forum and it'll be removed. No big problem, I amended it and the post is still there so I'm not sure what the problem is. If you'd like to discuss this further, send me a message.
