I don't get videos at work but is that the fifth gear test of premium diesels? I remember seeing that and noting that the car
did make more power with fuels like V-Power Diesel and BP Ultimate Diesel.
What I do think though is it's kind of hard to see if the fuel offers more economy just by looking at your OBC. Every time you drive, you'll use a tiny bit more or less fuel than the last time no matter how much you try and drive the same.
I wonder if anyone's done a similar test as to that fifth gear one, but for fuel economy. Even on a rolling road it should work. Put 20L in, run it until dry, note the mpg / trip distance when it runs out (obviously going to be way off real life figures). Then do the same but with a premium diesel and see what the mpg / trip is..
About as scientific as I can think of?!
