Theres a lot of "my mate said" or "a taxi driver said" and magical claims of extra MPG and broken engines saved, petrol running out of exhausts - spare me - how the hell did it get through the cylinders. I think the whole thing is bull "the tanker drivers put additives in" - I don't think so, refineries sell fuel to their best customers the supermarkets - again I don't think so, after all they don't get poor fruit, fish, meat etc so why should fuel be any different However people do buy "organic" and pay a premium price or "Tesco Finest" like my missis - one born every minute?

you're not the first to bring this subject up and we have had many 'discussions' on it in the past and we always come up with the same conclusion that both fuels are differently the same... |

I reckon they had the best idea in Mad Max 2 - everything has a V8 and runs on pig sh@t gas. How's that for an additive . . .

Just got off the phone to Tim at Opie Oils ordered 5L of Millers Diesel Additive to add to my Tesco fuel when I fill up (once every couple of weeks).

When i fill up with LPG it has no miracle additives to enhance my driving experience. Yet the 12 year old V8 L322 just keeps rolling on.

Due to this thread, I asked a friend with a doctorate and also a degree in Chemical Engineering/ currently working at a major UK refinery to find out answers to some of the questions and this is the reply, summarised by me (I'm neither a chemical engineer, an engineer, a scientist or a mechanic and therefore it is summarised in my words, in good faith and any disagreement with the content, I won’t challenge):
