I fill up when the odometer reads 100 miles, usually £23ish on Shell diesel. Topped up with V Power yesterday at 97 miles. £18...

No - although all the dafties with tuned up engines in their cars will tell you it's better - which is just a classic case of confirmation bias

It does make a difference it's higher octane turbo cars can hole pistons because there mapped for higher octane a lot of high performance cars will state on there fuel caps the Ron rating

Scooby Spec B Estate (sadly long gone ) hated anything other than V Power fuel (18-20 mpg) but was “interesting to drive “

Jag XFS diesel chipped to 600 nm (long gone now ) on V Power returned constant 38-45 mpg no matter how driven (would spin wheels in third in wet )

That had issues with dpf if I put cheaper fuel in it and needed the odd quick run to resolve

Mitsy L200 performs much better on v power (more mpg more torque towing) Than on supermarket fuel

Current ride - D 5 Estate also same (though may change to BITDI Allroad) .......

Constant “brisk” trip to Longtown Range a few weeks ago returned low 40 mpg despite “ briskness “

Pattern - buy better fuel, it’s not in my view a fools errand

That's impressive - pretty much a gallon difference (using £1.3/l for normal diesel £23 = 17.7litres, and £1.4/l for V Power £18 = 12.8litres ).

It is.... engine quieter, smoother, quicker and better on the pooch. Win win.

Tyre pressures are the main fuel saver I’m told

Just like driving with the handbrake on is?
