A computer crash meant I lost a lot of data including m.p.g. for my �fleet� (four petrol soon to be joined by a 2�-litre Daimler V8 and a Defender 2.4), trying to de-clutter and un-sadden my life by not bothering to carry on with such trivia.
BUT, I�d already established to my satisfaction that the savings made by buying supermarket fuel are offset by its poorer fuel consumption. And Super Duper Maxi fuels don�t make the slightest bit of difference and nor does 2SO in your diesel - it�s all in the mind! I use regular Shell or BP but I don�t lose any sleep if I have to fill up with supermarket stuff, and refuelling a Morgan with rubbish from a dodgy garage in the French Alps didn�t cause the engine to blow up. But filling with BP Ultimate or V-Power and an Italian tune-up prior to an MOT definitely reduces emissions for petrol engines, can�t say for diesel. Peter |

In fairness, I don't think 2SO has ever been touted as an aid to fuel economy. Its' benefit is more to do with lubrication and engine longevity.

All clever stuff, but also a harsh reminder about where your hard earned goes!
Based on the results here, its not something I'll be planning on doing either. Think it's less painful banging your head against the wall.  |
