    That's more likely down to driving conditions than anything else. All petrol in ireland comes from the same place.

    There isnt going to be a 30-40 km difference between filling stations. At most there woulld be a small % difference, due to storage of fuel in different conditions but not in any way substantial enough to justify 2c/litre extra

    More likely to do with the inaccuracy of measurement used imo.

    I'll link to a post i made previously on the topic. You cant measure by using money as the constant - the price varies.

    The only way to measure fuel efficiency is to calculate MPG by brimming, zero the trip counter, then re-brim, and calculate the miles per gallon (4.54 litres) manually.

    Only way of knowing is to fill tank till it clicks off, take note of mileage, fill till it clicks off again and work out your mpg.

    Where does it come from, you will get longer mileage out of fuel with a higher calorific content. FOr example E5 from maxol lasts less that 100% petrol as the ethanol burns quicker.

    Ok, all fuel with the same RON comes from the same place then, if you want to be pedantic about it.

    Are you then saying all unleaded fuel is the same weather or not the brands additive is added?

    Because i get petrol from many garages and i have noticed considerable differences in consumption between garages at times, even with a difference in power from the engine! back when i was driving a diesel i even noticed a difference at times!

    And no, my driveing style doesnt change and i take note of the wind...

    for sure there is a difference in fuel as it dos'nt all come out of the ground out of the same hole....is the crude oil from north sea not different from the crude oil from the middle east, i don't know but would think that it's not exeactly the same..

    ..
    Brand additives dont give any meaningful difference, certainly not 30 miles extra out of 13.3 litres.

    The basic ingredient, the fuel, is all the same, and comes from the same location.

    This topic has been done to death in the past here.

    petrol rated at 95 RON is always the same fuel. We dont produce petrol/crude here, it's all shipped in.

    We *do* produce petrol here, Whitegate refinery produces about 40% of our needs.

    Petrol sold as 95 can be anything from 95 up. Whitegate's "95" blend is 99.2, for instance.
