I will, what is the country coming too  .
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.... |
I've done it with Esso, BP and Shell Fuelsave. Always get at least 10% further with the Shell. V Power is better than that, but does not justify the cost. Fuelsave I get for £1.41 a litre, V Power is £1.48. I wouldn't ever buy supermarket fuel after it made a mess of my wife's Escort engine some years ago (emulsion all over the rocker cover, blocked crankcase breather) and is always dissed by the reviews. Try Fuelsave and see if you agree.

Whe I started driving fuel was 28p a litre. When the rationing was envisaged in 1973 it was 32p a litre. My first recollection is my father complaining when the local garage put the price up to over 4 shillings (20p) a gallon in the sixties. I can hear him now saying "When I started driving it was 1s 6d!" (For the youngsters that's 7.5p... a gallon!!) Having said all that, if you had a car that did more than 35 to the gallon in the '70s, it was either an 850 Mini or broken down!
