« on: 18 July 2007, 12:48 »
Are there any particular garages that do better diesel fuel than others?

i use Total Excellium diesel; currently pay about 96.9p per litre; seem to get more miles and a little extra zoom.

not tried any others as BP and Shell aren't local! Plus BP are well expensive;p especially their Ultiamte diesel

I have been using Tesco diesel @ 93.9p per litre and get about 430 miles to a full tank (48 litres). That works out to be about 41mpg or 10.41 pence per mile.

I went to a BP garage recently and used the BP Ultimate diesel, this was 96.9p per litre but I got 500 miles out of a tank (again 48 litres).  This works out as 47mpg or 9.90p per mile.

I know its only a fraction of a pence but I reckon BP is better for your car than the Tesco sh*te.  I need to get a life too  :laugh: :laugh:

p.s mine is a 130bhp

i generally use either texaco, total (standard) or esso depending on which is nearest when i need to fill up.  and will get on average 520 before the light comes on.

hey guys, i have a 99 110bhp  tdi and i only get about 420 out of a full tank before the light goes on.  it seems as though im about 100 short off you guys?  why could this be???? in 4 years of owning the car i have never seen it do anything close to 500!!!!
