BP Fuel

[Jamieg285]

I know they change the fuel mix in the states for the winter weather.  I wonder if they do the same over here - could explain the sudden change.

Slightly OT, I don't use BP and my economy has dropped lately - but that's mainly down to the 99% drive below 1500rpm, below the stall converters rating

Filled my pick-up yesterday, costs £72 to fill from empty to full, and will tow your Alfa when-ever you need

pumped another £20 of super in the 166 today! she sure does like a drop of the good stuff round town, the computer showing an average of 21 mpg!

That can't be right

I noticed I go further on Bp than anything else to.

Any yank diesel I've ever had always runs miles better on BP diesel too

a BMW 525i or Mercedes E280 would be between 17 - 20 mpg on the urban cycle, so its bang on the money. On a long run its about 32mpg

My 325i gets just under 30 on a heavy foot, urban run when it finds the light outside the garage

and its probably half a tonne lighter than the 166.. its a much smaller car, slightly less powerful too.
