Car Insurance – Problems with Super Fuel
For those drivers who have car insurance for modified cars, opting for super fuels may seem like the smart thing to do but a recent study has shown that those who do opt for this fuel will find that it makes little or no difference to the efficiency of their car.
A leading consumer guide has released information regarding the effectiveness of this fuel. They conducted a study whereby they carried out tests on three cars, each filled with different super fuels to measure the difference, if any, they made to the running of the car and its efficiency.
The Ford Focus 1.6 was one of the cars involved in the tests and was filled with Shell V-Power. The car was found to perform marginally better when filled with this fuel but there was no significant improvement to justify the £115 increase in cost compared to standard fuel if the car were to run for 12,000km.
The consumer guide also found that when the Ford Focus was filled with Tesco Super Unleaded, the performance of the car seemed to decrease. When another car was brought into the test, a Renault Megane 1.5, the guide found that the super fuel used; BP Ultimate diesel, again caused the car’s performance to decrease in efficiency.
The consumer guide came to the decision that it wouldn’t recommend opting for super fuels over standard fuels in your car.
Running a car is a very expensive business, so opting for the cheaper option that seems to do the job just as well appears to make much more sense than choosing the option that costs more. This is partly because car insurance is so expensive; you don’t want any extra costs building up alongside this.
When choosing your insurance policy, it is important that you make the effort to compare the prices before simply going with your first offer. Making sure that you compare car insurance prices will mean that you end up saving a lot more money than you would do if you rushed the decision.
