Tesco Petrol

Tesco petrol is a fuel product retailed by the British multinational retailer Tesco PLC. While Tesco provides the branding and the forecourt infrastructure at hundreds of locations across the United Kingdom, it does not refine its own fuel. Instead, the petrol is sourced from various oil refineries and fuel terminals. A significant portion of Tesco's fuel is supplied by Greenergy, a major UK fuel supplier in which Tesco has historically held a significant shareholding.

The petrol itself is a commodity typically refined from crude oil sourced from various global regions, including the North Sea, the Middle East, and formerly Russia, before being processed at refineries in the UK or mainland Europe. The final product sold at Tesco forecourts often includes specific additives and detergents designed to clean engines and improve performance, which distinguishes it from fuel sold by other retailers even if they share a common refinery source.

Tesco entered the petrol retail market in 1974 and has since become one of the UK's largest fuel retailers. Its ultimate owner is Tesco PLC, a publicly traded company headquartered in Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire. The brand remains under British ownership as a flagship part of the Tesco Group's diversified retail portfolio.
