It comes out of the same tank at Milford Haven 
Its a placebo - does this guy drive exactly the same route, at the same speed, with the same load, changing gears just the same and in the same weather conditions to be able to compare?
Isn't 93 ron a set standard?

Yeh I asked the same questions Woody, so its all Bo@@ocks then 
some folks have too much time on their hands.
Hey, don't knock it - there is a credit crunch on y'know
Obviously spending 5p more per litre to get an extra 5 miles per tank helps keep some BP executive in a job, and saves the environment too. Its win-win

ask him to prove it, but dont hold your breath.
its also "common knowledge" that Ken Livingstone (when he was Mayor) said you can't ask for black coffee, and you must say with or without milk, because to say black is racist.
It was made up by some newspaper, that is not what he said
My dad worked at an ELF distribution depot for years and various companies used to haul from there.
He said that all the tankers filled up from the same storage tanks then additives were then put into the tanker to suit the customers requirements
So basically when you fill up at the pump the fuel is different even though it comes from the same depot

So with the high octane fuels its just additives that are mixed with the petrol after it comes out the same tap?

That may be so, Woody, but according to Honest John additives are supplied subsequently:It comes out of the same tank at Milford Haven
Can't envisage too many punters demanding documentary proof that their 12 gals of Asda'a finest contains the latest additives, can you?
it is but i doubt the likes of shell etc will share the lastest info with the likes of tesco, asda etc, so i think its fair to say that the major oil companies will have better fuel then the supermarkets
