    Shell reckon their "fuelsave" standard unleaded gets you an extra 2mpg. How is that working out for you?

    Haven't got a baseline to compare with yet. Maybe I should have a few tanks of supermarket to see if it drops.
    I need to think of something new here...

    I run my Focus on Shell V-Power whenerver I can, get slightly better, smoother performance, and it's only a couple quid more on a fill up.

    Which engine please? I've got the 1.6 EcoBoost (150PS) which is why I wondered if it would make a difference. On my old Mondeo 1.8 it wasn't worth it.

    ST then. That probably is set up to make the most of premium fuel.

    I think MSE should add a Facebook style 'like' button to these forums :)

    That's pretty much what the Thanks button gets used for :P

    Yus, when standard they only require 97, don't require 99 as standard, but mines running a map designed on 100RON, so do notice a little difference.
