In my van which i bought from new, i filled it everytime with Esso and for 80lts i always get 500miles +/-10miles. About 6 weeks ago i got offered a BP Fuel card, offering a discount on BP fuel of around 4-5 pence per litre. Not a bad saving so i tried it. First tank i got 480miles, and the second tank i got 450miles!!! At this point i thought that something was going wrong with the engine, but i got advised to try Shell Diesel Extra. This was 1.5 pence per litre cheaper than the Esso i had used for so long, and unbeliveably i got 540miles out of the first tank!!!! I am currently on the second full tank of Shell Diesel Extra and it is looking like i might get 560-580miles out of the same 80ltrs. So an extra 100+miles per tank and its cheaper too.... Win-Win!!
O hyeah, i do not work for, nor have shares in Shell!!!
Well as an update, my second tank of Shell Diesel Extra i got 555miles, and i am now on the third tank, and at 560 miles and still it keep going!!!
I knew that some supermarket fuels were possibly lower quality, but to find that theres such a vast difference between major brands, is amasing... Guess i am converted to Shell!!!!! With the price set to rocket, knocking a few pence per mile off always helps!!!
Has anyone else found something similar to this with other fuels??
