That's a very good question Jon but the answer would, of course, be a closely guarded secret. I wonder why the oil companies concerned don't exploit this remarkable achievement in their advertising? Simon

My own experience has been mostly with Shell ultimate (other premium fuel brands are available but with no guarantee of performing the same). On my regular commute (26 miles each way - same traffic each week, different weather). Running mostly premium fuel but occasionally sainsburys fuel. Consistently worse mpg (2 - 4 mpg) and didn't always run as smoothly. Never once did the Sainsbury fuel give better mpg than the Shell ultimate. And that is over 7+ years. Calculating the extra fuel cost against mpg also came out comparable in pence per mile most of the time as well. So for me it's proven that paying more for fuel doesn't have to mean a higher cost per mile.
