Does fuel brand affect fuel consumption?
I have started keeping track of my fuel consumption on my new bike. I am also keeping a track of the different filling stations I have used to see if there is any trend related to the fuel supplier - I have a sneaking suspicion that the mileage I get from brands such as Shell / BP etc will be better than supermarket fuel due to the additives that are in the more expensive fuels. I am also tracking what changes I make to the bike so that, for instance, I know when I changed from a touring screen to the standard screen etc.
Does anyone else keep such information about their bike - I know that the big brands talk about reduced consumption with their brands but I wondered if anyone in the real world have any opinions / experience about the matter?
