• Any - 'No brainer' fuel change 22 Jul 2019 (Forum)
  The motivation appears to be two-fold: to safeguard jobs in the bioethanol sector, and to reduce carbon emissions It is reported that the E10 gives a slightly poorer fuel economy (perhaps 1%) - and presumably a slight reduction in power output. This would seem to run completely counter to HJ's frequent exhortations to use V-Power or other premium fuels - I wonder whether he will comment in his column?
• Vauxhall Corsa 1.2 - Premium Unleaded Fuel 2 Feb 2016 (Forum)
  I ran my Tank to near empty, 1 or 2 litres left and filled up a Full Tank on the V power.   I got 345 miles from the tank, thats an 85 mile increase. 26 mpg to 34.5,   To me thats excellent.  It costs £4 more to fill up on the V Power, Taking that into account, im still saving £10 every time i fill up and gaining 85 miles on a tank.
• JD Power, Consumer's Association, etc 4 Jan 2002 (Forum)
  To start, for anyone not aware of the fact, I drive an Omega. The Omega came second last in JD Power about three years ago. The odd thing is that I know three other people who own them, and the four of us all rant and rave (to the point of utter boredom) about what a superb car it is. Now, the only difference between my survey and JD Power's is the size of sample, but I find it a bit odd that our results should be so out of kilter.
