And with petrol at around £1.33 per litre and Tesco Momentum at a 5p (might be more now) premium and giving better economy it's looking pretty marginal thinking E10 will be cheaper.
But as we all know, the best way to save fuel costs with an A8 is to have a gentler right foot, so this is all pretty academic……. 
Edit: SWMBO was the last one to buy petrol and the guy on the till told her that Momentum had gone up in price twice in the last week.
