Hey Guys,
I usually run on LPG but I haven't gotten around to filling up lately and have been running on petrol. I filled up the other day and calculated I achieved 9.87mpg. This is 90% town driving. Now bear in mind I usually get that closer to 12mpg in petrol when just driving around town and 15mpg on the freeway.
My last two fill ups have been at the same Esso. So my questions are:
1. Do the big name stations (BP, She'll etc...) have better quality fuel compared to the likes of supermarkets and Esso (is it fair to lump Esso in the supermarket fuel category?) and could this cause a drop in MOG?
2. Is it likely that different additives are added to petrol in winter and this may cause the drop in MPG?
3. Would I get better MPG on higher octane petrol?
And no I have not fitted the 37's yet so that rules out that problem. Though out of curiosity should I be making any corrections to miles due to running in 285/75 16's as opposed to stock?
