Fuel Costs

[mowerman]

I also avoid Tesco, Sansburys and Morrison for derv and only try to use Shell... get about 2/3 mpg more from the shell stuff !!! Used to be the same with petrol in the old car, cheaper to fill up but less to the tank full

 

[Adz]

Shell is the best forecourt station :thumbs Ask any Jap Performance Car owner :thumbs

Then BP & Esso

:thumbs

The supermarket stations have always had dark clouds over there heads with excessive water in diesel & poor quality petrol

odd as i seem to get less when i go to shell for normal diesel:nenau

 

[tezzer]

that info came straight from a tesco tanker driver, and my transit definitely runs better on BP/shell fuel. i suppose some vehicles could respond differently to various fuels. :thumb2

 

[4x4_Gav]

While were on the subject, my local Esso does that uprated Diesel stuff thats about 2-3p a litre more but they claim its better to the gallon and better for your engine, is this the case and is it worth spending the extra 2-3p a litre on already expensive fuel?

I think that either way you look at it it's wrong!

either they are ripping us off and it's not better!

or they are ripping us off by selling us crap fuel and then charging us extra for the stuff we should be getting anyway

 

[lacroupade]

Well it underlines experience that others who have travelled on the continent will confirm, that european diesel is significantly better than UK diesel, both in terms of performance and fue economy. Explain that if you can.:nenau

Well I can. :naughty

 

[tezzer]

go on paul explain. :nenau

 

[lacroupade]

go on paul explain. :nenau

Said it before Terry; they add a lot more biodiesel to the mix over there (upwards of 30% in some cases)....my engine always runs a lot quieter and sweeter and I've had 36mpg before now, which with my driving style is gobsmacking - no way could I ever get that in the UK.

But then they've been using bio for much longer on the continent cos they have huge maize and other crops that we don't have in the UK. I'm sure its down to just more than the bio but since the oil companies keep their cards so close to their chests how will we ever know

Oh and their diesel is cheaper than unleaded :doh

But if they can do it....:nenau

surely a gallons a gallon and weights measures or hmrc (her majs robbin c*nts) would be all over them and taking big wedge of a fine of em so dc and co could shift balme onto some one else!

We should be conserving more fuel.
Remove all the junk from the car.
Remove roof racks as they cause drag.
Anticipate by looking ahead more, don't drive on just the brake lights of the car in front. We are higher than most so can see ahead.:thumb2

Less use of the brakes, take your foot off the gas sooner.
Correct tyre pressures.
Combine journeys, do a round Robin with several tasks on one trip.
Be in the right gear.
Don't over accelerate.... :lol :lol

Keep the top speed down, our trucks consume a lot more fuel at speeds greater than 60 mph

Avoid peak periods, queues/delays consume fuel.
Buy the cheapest fuel locally.
Service the car regularly, oil filters, sticking brakes.

And most of all, Allow enough time for the journey. Being in a hurry uses much more fuel.

Driving at 60 mph on a 50 mile motorway journey will only take a few minutes longer than trying to drive at 80 mph, where you can consume 20% more fuel.
Less stress as well. :thumb2 :thumb2

I dont know if it will ever do any good but:- www.fuelprotest.com

I have added my name to it, just in case it does. no waffel just email addy needed then its done.

Ps, if they catch you running on RED "Cherry" Diesel they take the car off you now and crush it. i used to run my Mondao on it all the time, but i would not risk it now as they going to start spot checking Diesel cars and truck as the price gets higher.

I always fill mine up when i get off the ferry over there and fill it back up before getting on to come home, definetly notice the difference.

 

[Kamsin]

Just had a thought..........

Do you take you wife/Girlfriends out for a drink ?

Beer is £2.80 a pint around me, 8 pints to a gallon = £22.44 per gallon AND YOU PAY IT :doh Now i can drink a gallon and do about 1 mile to get me home.

Flip the coin over Diesel is 73p per pint , buy it 8 pints and the truck will do about 30 miles and were moaning.

Now, who do you love more, your wife/girlfriend or your Truck :lol

(Im now in hiding, incase the girlfriend ask you)
