Thanks all, some good sense in here, and Arzosah, glad it was useful. Peter, on the E10 point, it may not be the brand. Since 2021 the ordinary unleaded at Tesco and at BP is E10 at both. If the car runs better at the BP it could be that you are putting super in there, which is still E5 at most big ...

This morning the motorway average is 192.0p a litre against 173.9p on ordinary forecourts. That is a premium of 18.1p, or £9.05 on a 50 litre f...

What stops me is putting one in the house rather than a van. Everything I read says it lives outside or in an ...

Spent part of this week on the fuel side of things, which I keep putting off. Two jerry cans emptied into the van and refilled fresh. I had lost track of when the petrol one was last turned over, and with E10 that matters more than it used to. The ethanol pulls in moisture, so six months in a sealed...

This week, I actually managed to sort out fuel. I look after a few vans for work, so now I also keep the family car above half a tank. I usually top up on the way home, which saves having to go out again when the warning light comes on. I swapped out the diesel in the two 20-litre jerrycans in the g...
