mmmmm, true yeh

Spose I could just use the shit stuff to get me to work (al motorway) over the summer, and then go back to the nice stuff after once bk at uni .

bit off the point, but do u agree that the thought of a light, turned on, inside the house, just next to the front door, in the winter, when it is cold and dark outside - is such a cosy, comforting thought ?

Kind of like when u look forward to ur own bed !

no, just fill up with cheap fuel, to be honest i would rather have a slightly slower car if my fuel costs were halved.

dunno about the limit ? :s

What if u use half tank of UK fuel and half european stuff , - would that make much difference ?

Is fuel like alcohol... is there supposed to be a limit to what you can bring back?

yeh !?

Same here !!

I bought 40 litres of the stuff from Luxembourg. It was okay until today, where now I've got 1/4 tank left. Its slow as shite. I thought I had a major problem, it was like the turbo wasn't working. Engine seems louder too. I've been really driving it hard this afternoon and it's felt slower than it is with UK fuel and me just driving normally.

Annoying, but good at the same time to know that is what the problem is.

Cheers

- oh, and it wouldn't damage the engine would it ?

dunno, but i filled up with global diesel at tescos not long ago, thought i would try it. it made a fair bit of difference to performance over the bp or shell stuff i normally use. unfortunately it affected performance the wrtong way and slowed my car considerably :lol:
its like 10 % rapeseed oil. so im never sticking that shit in my car again.

... Diesel bought in Europe (i.e. Luxembourg - half price), and the UK ??
