Fuel and his money
You may remember I wrote to you about starting and running problems with my recently purchased 2006/56 Focus 1.6 automatic. You recommended Shell V-Power petrol. I said I would let you know I got on and, following your advice, I am now on my 3rd tank of BP Ultimate (I couldn’t get Shell locally). What a difference. No starting problems and up to 10% more miles per gallon, It costs 5% more to fill it up so I am 5% better off.

Many thanks for the endorsement. I hope other readers will take note that regular use of decent petrol can actually repair the problems they are having with their cars.
