Yes, in that case, having taken both trip and tank fill readings, whichever is greater would definitely be the more accurate!

:lol: :lol:
I did the feulsave and v power and i lost about 40 miles, maybe it was me but the car felt less responsive. I always fill up vpower, signed up to the vpower club and the rewards are not great but the reward voucher comes in handy as I use shell for my van too.

sorry for taking so long to reply. all mpg calculations where done by good old maths... fill up tank, drive x miles, fill up tank again using same pump.
i was very supprised to get such high mpg but thats what you get when you slow to 55 - 60 on a very long trip!

Quick update as it is nearly a yea now...
Dan, your V-Power was in the Summer and Fuelsave in the winter, so I would expect some drop in economy anyway. Also Excellium seems best
Ho hum, I am sticking to V-power whatever as it feels more responsive and has better cleaning properties. Also by your table Dan its about the same average cost either way!

Nick,
In the van I noticed very little difference between the fuels - but then it is hardly the most refined drive; although far better than the R regged 1.9 VW I had before.
I will go through the summer on FS then switch back to VPD to give a complete years comparison for both. Sad eh
Wish I drove the Honda enough to compare like with like on the engine front, but ultimately it shouldn't matter for our purposes here.
Luckily no matter how I drive into or out of London I pass at least 3 stations with VPD, plus any that are found in between.
