Yes. And I haven't seen you answer this question yet. B2003

He wants us to measure how dense the fuel is and what supply chain it came through. I don't understand how buying fuel from different places can physically change an engine and alter its efficiency - perhaps he knows of a garage that tunes your car while you fill up - I'm only guessing though as he hasn't explained how that works yet! Personally I tend to go by the industry standard measurement for vehicle efficiency - its MPG.

And I haven't seen you answer this question yet. Perhaps you ought to try to read posts other than your own, then.

I don't understand how buying fuel from different places can Well the density of diesel vs petrol is hardly a secret. And even if you go by miles per unit weight rather than volume diesel cars would still be more efficient than petrol ones. It should be noted than I much prefer petrol engines to diesel but that doesn't mean I'm blind to reality with regards to diesels efficiency. B2003 |
