BP Petrol - more mileage??
Discussion
Ok, this is something I have always been very skeptical about. However, the results I've had have been too much to ignore 
Using a Ford Escort at the moment, which typically got ~35 miles to £5 petrol from the cheapest garage (Usually around 114.9 before the last month or so
). However, a couple of weeks before Christmas, the BP garage local to me became a lot more competitively priced (122.9, how fast things change) so I filled up from there. Had read a lot about people getting better mileage so tried a couple of tankfuls to see if it made a difference.
f
k me. 45-50 miles to £5 consistently. Same journeys, only slight difference being cold weather so full choke starts & lots of heater etc. So in theory should be worse.
BP garage goes up too much, fill up at previous garage (a bargain 119.9). After a couple of fill ups back down to 30ish miles/fiver.
Now, I included the prices because I work in terms of 'a fiver' as opposed to litres and I know someone would say it's meaningless without the prices
I haven't done the maths but being more expensive I know that actually works in BP's favour. This is definitely too much to be coincidental. Are there any other factors that could possibly affecting it or are the fuels really that different?
Is anybody less tired than me able to work out whether the extra cost is offset by the extra mileage please? (Garage is now at 126.9
