I used Shell's new fuel save, full tank. I got 475 miles out of full tank as opposed to usually just over 450 miles from filling up at morrisons. The problem is that Shell is 119.9 at the mo but morrisons is 114.9. Swings and roundabouts I suppose. I know supermarket fuels are usually inferior but tough times on the financial front and my morrisons miles card will keep me there for now pehaps.

I have just decided that I am not putting as much thought into this as I should.

Call me frivolous, but I use Shell Optimax, 125p/ltr, but i get no smoke, noticeable smoothness and power. £3 extra a fill up aint't gonna make much difference in my life....... 2010MY Freelander 2 HSE Auto

Fortunately, round here the Shell is just about the cheapest (apart from Asda at 1ppl less), but the pumps seem to be setup for townie/taxi £10 splash-and-dashes and take F-O-R-E-V-E-R to fill up the D3 |

Junior I have just bought a new car............................. 1) Filling it up costs £120 but as it can achieve 31mpg (hey it's a TDv8 FFRR Vogue!) I can now go for nearly 3 weeks between fillups so only one mortgage a month!

I don't want to get off subject here of course but there is a guy not too far from me Tim who has a 2010MY Range Rover Autobiography TDV8 in stornoway and also a 10 plate Aston Martin V12 Vantage in black. He will have some fairly large fuel bills but then you don't buy those sort of cars if you can't afford to run them. I am just a tad jealous of him LL.B (Hons) - University of Derby
