The data above might suggest that Shell V-Power Diesel is slow and
thirsty. It just means that over these tanks the Saab spent longer
in the city.

I would look at you Shell Ordinary fills and see if they do support the
apparent trend that your mpg is proportional to your mph. And then you
can conclude that Tesco has too much bio, and the premiums are better.

Maybe: but three runs isn't enough to be statistically significant. 40
runs, maybe...

Looking at your figures, try averaging 100mph for a while, will save you a
fortune.


Heh Might be possible; the 9-3 is quoted as being 121 to 126 mph,
depending on your source. Either way 125 is ~max power engine speed. I
suspect acceleration is woeful over ~80 or so.
