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.  |
How is supermarket fuel different from normal fuel. Our Ford S-MAX Diesel 2.0 TDCi runs fine on regular diesel from Asda.
It all comes from the same place anyway aprt from changes in the additive which hardly make a difference
The problem with pure Biodiesel is that not many car manufacturers like it and say it will void the warranty on the engine. a couple of years back my dad enquired to ford about it and they said they did not support it.
