Even as an owner of three cars that do a maximum of around 20mpg, I do find such comments amusing - you know that's what they are in business for, like anyone else?If the petrol price goes up by 10p, you are lucky to ever see it go down by 1p when the crude price drops. Shell and Bp are the masters of profiteering.

We have Asda and Tesco a few hundred metres apart, they are always the cheapest in the area.
I'm quite fortunate in that my diesel Mondeo does 50mpg.

I used to work for BP, I live on a BP pension and own BP shares. But I refuse point blank to buy their over priced fuel, or oils.
It all comes out of the same refineries to a spec that complies to the British Standard.

That's like saying all steel comes from China to a spec that complies with the British Standard
Some of it does!
I've been told the base stock is all identical, but the additives for different sellers is different...?

It’s the same fuel from the same refineries, I add my own additives to supermarket diesel to make it as good at cleaning the fuel system and cylinder heads as any overpriced BP fuel.That's like saying all steel comes from China to a spec that complies with the British Standard

I wouldn’t use cheap petrol on my 911 purely because it’s now got 10% bio fuel where it used to be 5% and I don’t think this will be a great thing in the long term.

This snake oil is at least as good and from the research I came across a few years ago better than the snake oil BP and Shell use in their premium grade fuels.
A cleaner engine and fuel/emissions system will always produce more mpg than a clogged up system.
Modern engines get very clogged up due to modern emissions systems, exhaust gas recirculation is a big problem especially with petrol engines with direct injection.
