By the way have you have done that experiment a few times with both the cheap fuel and the branded fuel? It would
be interesting to now if this is a fact.... |
Have been doing that experiment on and off for the last 2 years and it's true. Ok, there are a
lot of variables but I find V-Power works best. Car starts better, runs smoother, warms up faster therefore uses less fuel sooner.
Have tried other 'brands' too (95ron) and most are only marginally better than tesco. Wished I had shares in BP their 95ron is one of the worst - the power of advertising, olympic sponsor and Nectar points too
.
Oh BTW did you know that 1000 nectar points is worth a fiver - Wahay
Another thing is the quantity of ethanol in petrol, all petrol now contains a quantity of it up to 5% to 'help' the environment - really the pump should say 95E5ron some countries run up to 10% in normal petrol. In USA you can buy cars that run on E85 ( 85% ) ethanol petrol mix which is great if you own a still.
I do not work for or have any association with the Shell company but they have always made quality fuels from year dot.
