Well I just think driving slow and low gear changes helps a hell lot and motorway driving!

Apparently BP petrols last longer!?

might have to try that then. i usually use total as its right outside my house, or tesco as its always a little cheaper.

might try shell or bp, maybe even the optimax

Yeah well my local BP costs me like 84p/litres, but Sainsbury only 81p, so I better stick to the cheaper one. Can't afford.

Once again the low fuel light came on today. Comes on all the time, I always run it low 'cos I don't want the extra weight with a full tank, no point, wastes petrol and torque.

Well just used BP petrol for the very first time in my life and it costed me a fortune. Didn't really wanna go for it but I was running low (near red line) and I was on the motorway doing 85mph from Manchester.

And there I was at a 'Road Chef' service looking for some petrol and I went for some Unleaded which costed 88.9p/litre!

Well anyway, gave me 1/2 tank for some strange reason and I haven't really noticed much difference - yet? Or is that just different when you use the 'Ultimate' stuff?
