Who knew?!
After accidentally filling their car with pricier 'premium' petrol, a driver was left shocked to find out the real reason why the more expensive stuff is actually better.
Fuel has skyrocketed in price recently, with petrol prices soaring from 99p per litre in 2016 to £1.60 at the moment, with diesel sitting at £1.80 per litre on average.But you shouldn't be skimping when it comes to filling up, according to a car expert who explained it is important to opt for the premium fuel at least every so often, reports Yorkshire Live.
"They often have more detergents and additives to keep the fuel system clean, than regular fuels. This can keep the car running better and improve economy/emissions. "If it was diesel, the answer is #2 only but the difference can be much more significant there due to how much diesel fuel systems get clogged up. Incidentally it's also the difference between supermarket diesel and brands. People will tell you it's the same fuel because it comes from the same refinery - it does, but it's not the same fuel due to the additives!
