Anyone else tried this stuff ?

I've had two tankfuls and my MPG seems to have gone down from 31 to 29.5. I know that is very low but I do lots of very short drives with plenty of traffic lights on the way.
My Laguna used to do 22-23 on the same runs so it is an improvement on that !
It may be that the weather has got colder and so needs longer to warm up ?
May get next tank from Tesco to see what that does.

I understand thatl these "saver" fuels are subject to tests, at present.
A full report is imminent.

Got a tank of Tesco unleaded (with 5p off per litre) and doing very similar MPG, around 29.6 according to display.
I wonder if the fuelsave works better with higher mileage cars ?
