Sadly the improved mileage wasn't enough to compensate for the price differential so I went back to Premium. In those days I had a daily 120 mile main road/motorway round trip to work so the extra cost was quite significant - now I live in central London and drive my 9000 2.3T less than 10 miles in an average week so any slight extra performance would be completely irrelevant at best, and any MPG improvement would soon get lost sitting at lights or grinding through traffic jams. -- cheers, Chris
