N/A

I always make a note of where I fill up and it really doesn't seem to make much difference :D

I'm also pretty sure that the various companies fill up at the same place in EL :p

Well iv found that total petrol lasts the lest while engine petrol kicks up a gear on my petrol meter (price was the same). What iv found in ratings of petrol lasting

(LRP)
Engine
Caltex
Shell
Total

(bp and sasol iv never tired yet)



- you could say that it depends on how you drive right? If the cost is the same, you going get the same amount of petrol at each brand of station that you go to?

But than again each brand says there something special about their brand like Caltex or Shell V-power?

Easy answer. The cheapest petrol, which means you get more for less :)

lol understandable:D

It's a fact and yet so simple. When we fill our car for the month (trips consist of work and back home), we drive longer with the fuel if we paid less for it. It means next month I refill later and so on and so on... :)

I was under the impression that you use the same amount of fuel regardless of where its from. The engine response (in terms of performance) may vary, but actual consumption would be the same. Because how would your engine know if its gulping a engen cocktail or some sasol shooter?

True!

:D Worth the asking,but why the special technology in some petrol or is that a way of marketing the product?
