Sounds like you’re getting reasonable economy just from using the normal then. I know you've got a remap but out of interest what wheels are you on and what tire pressure do you generally use?

18's - BBS RC's (Anniversary wheels)

I've had no adverse tyre wear from running those pressures although the Falken's i had lasted approx 9K but thats because they were sh!te

If there any problem with jumping from one type to the next.  For example, say i have quater of a tank left and I put £20 of shell in rather than the usual at tesco as its closer.  Will it make a difference.  I guess its best to try and stick to the same type.

I found that filling up with sainsburys city diesel over my normal esso has decreased my mpg by about 5 :(

am running some injector cleaner through atm and renewing the fuel filter, but im going to try and stick with whats been used before on personal experiance seems to get better mpg.
