Cut the cost of motoring tip #7 – Don’t put premium fuel in standard cars
Book Theory Test Today says: “Gone are the days when you’d go to fuel your vehicle with leaded or unleaded petrol. Two choices, it was that simple. But, some did make the occasional error putting the wrong fuel type in their motor.
However, turn up at a fuelling station nowadays and there’s as much choice in petrol as there are flavours of Coca Cola, some more pricey than others.â€
The majority of petrol stations in the UK do now sell ‘high performance’ fuels. However, the fact is there’s minimal or even no performance difference for the standard road vehicle.
So, this is perhaps one of the easiest ways to cut the cost of motoring, don’t fill up using super fuels, except if you have a sports car where you’ve been advised that a premium fuel will actually be used correctly.
Even the AA says that high performance fuels are too costly simply for regular use. However, if you do want to use it, they recommend filling the tank three times in row in order to keep your engine clean and running efficiently, then switch over to standard fuel as the engine could benefit from the ‘fancy fuel’s detergents.’
The AA also suggests using a high quality engine oil to prolong the life of your vehicle’s engine and improve fuel consumption. Therefore, it’s definitely beneficial to use the type of engine oil recommended for your vehicle to prevent the engine going kaput and adding to the cost of motoring.
