Here's my little bit of research....
I always run my MR2 on 95ron supermarket fuel, mostly sainsburys. About once a month I make a trip to the Lakes which is about 300miles each way, plus
about 300 miles of driving when I'm up there. There is no supermarket, so I fill with shell 95ron.
So I do 300 miles on the supermarket fuel and it takes about 34 litres (when the fuel light comes on). Fill up with shell, flush it through for 300
miles, refill and drive home. However the drive home never takes more than 32 litres of fuel. Same speeds (70mph), same distance, same car, same
luggage etc etc.
The destination in the lakes is at sea level, home is not.
From this I can conclude that either there is a heavily prevailing northerly wind or I am actually seeing some kind of difference in the shell fuel.
Ha ha... I have the exact same experience. Usually fill up at Asda or Morrisons during the run to work. If I'm doing any sort of distance
I'll treat the car to a trip to Shell on the way back. It's a bit pricier but seems to go a bit further. Either that or a nice run down
the motorway gives the engine a bit of a clear out.

I remember EVO mag did a test when shell released optimax, where they ran cars on it for a week or so, noticably cleaner inside the engine compared to
beforehand...
plus the optimax definitely makes engines run better...

I've had my 206 for about a month now, I've been getting 56-59mpg so far. Looks like I might experiment with some proper Shell stuff this
month and see what happens.
