  • any - 'copycat' fuel economy register 16 Apr 2012 (Forum)
    It seems a bit peevish to be complain about a 'copycat' fuel economy database since the idea of collating data on fuel economy is so generic and goes back to the first days of motoring. You can't claim a patent/trademark on an idea that's been in the public domain for over a hundred years

  • Fuel saving devices 26 May 2004 (Forum)
    Afnoon' everyone, What're your opinions on this type of device: http://www.ethosplan.com/empfuel.asp - I've seen adverts all over the place for similar magnetic devices that are supposed to be clipped over the fuel line and will increase the fuel economy... The theory behind it sounds dodgy

  • Any - 'No brainer' fuel change 22 Jul 2019 (Forum)
    An all-party political group is recommending that bioethanol (E10) fuel should be introduced to replace the current lower bioethanol (E5) at present allowed. The motivation appears to be two-fold: to safeguard jobs in the bioethanol sector, and to reduce carbon emissions
  • Vauxhall Corsa C - Fuel Filter 3 Dec 2015 (Forum)
    Looking to change my fuel filter in the near future. I've looked in the Haynes manual and it says to depressurize the fuel system before doing so, but I can't find the valve under the bonnet which it says to do this via. Is this an absolute must when changing the filter or not? From what

    Hi, I was wondering if anyone can help me. My Rover 25 (52 reg) ran out of fuel yesterday, when I eventually managed to get some fuel back into the car it still wouldn't start. I think the problem is that there is now a fuel blockage as dirt from the tank has become dislodged hence causing
  • Supermarket vs big name fuel. 27 Aug 2006 (Forum)
    I can't find a search option on this forum, which is a bit sad. Anyway, there's a good discussion going on at the moneysavingexpert forums about supermarket vs big name fuel. My personal belief is that big name fuel gives me slightly more mpg. Years ago I had a crappy 1.1 Escort which would pink

    Can anyone settle an arguement my wife and I were having yesterday. Is it true that repeatedly driving the car when the fuel light is on and there is not much petrol in the tank is bad for the car.
