I thought Super unleaded was snake oil but after eight tanks of essos finest I'm driving more aggressively and getting 6-10% better fuel economy. I now do nearly 19mpg instead of bang on 17. That's according to fuel in / miles. The onboard computer still reckons I'm getting 22. Yet the tank range estimate is spot on?

Maybe it just needs to be thrashed regularly to clear it's throat? Who knows?
