I actually filled from reserve to full with Tesco’s posh Momentum super unleaded today, I have to admit it did make the bike feel a bit more lively… or maybe it went better because my wallet was quite a lot lighter?

My local Tescos is currently:- Unleaded £1.279 vs Super Unleaded £1.359. That makes the posh stuff near enough 6.4% more expensive.
So, does anyone who's measured it get a 6.4% or better increase in MPG?

I just fill it up when it gets to 2 bars, no idea what mileage I’m getting.

Having done a measured test between Tesco Momentum and BP Ultimate, BP returned 7.8% better mpg than Tesco.
IMO, the likes of Shell V-Power and BP Ultimate give better mpg than supermarket fuels.
BMW recommends BP fuels.

At last they did something for the people and not their own pockets.

My bike currently showing 61.2mpg over the past 210 miles using Asda E10, what sort of mpg do you get out of E5?

The comparison between Tesco & BP (both E5) fuel over the same 100 miles with the cruise control set at 70 MPH.
Returned 59.9 MPG & 64.6 MPG respectively, using the physical full to full method.
