• BMW 3-Series E91 Touring (2005 - ) - Realistic fuel consumption for 318i 23 Jan 2012 (Forum)
  A combination of the leasing costs on my company's scheme, list price, emissions etc means that a BMW 318i Touring looks like a very attractive replacement for my current Ford Focus Estate 2.0TDCi. One factor that may actually make the maths even more favorable is that in moving from a diesel to a petrol I benefit from the increasing difference in cost between the two fuels and the fact that for my business miles I will be able to claim 3p a mile more. All this assumes that the BMW Efficient Dynamics really do make the fuel consumption of the 318i only about 10% worse than my Diesel Focus in the real world.

• Ford Fiesta - 59 plate TDCi fuel filter replacement 12 Sep 2014 (Forum)

• Question for HonestJohn re: Fuel (The Telegraph) 24 Jan 2012 (Forum)
  HonestJohn, In your Car Advice column for The Telegraph, 13th Jan 2012, you advise that Shell V-Power is the best petrol and BP Ultimate is the best diesel. Can you tell me why you believe this to be the case?  I'm aware of the argument put forward about cleaner fuel systems and delivering better economy it's just what is about one specific brand versus another.
