I think this is one of those debates that’ll never be settled. The people that use the so called premium petrol/diesel products will claim it increases engine longevity and improves performance and economy.

Was looking into the 100% renewable energy thing. There are larger companies now on the bandwagon. E.on who I’m with also claim 100% renewable. How they achieve this I don’t know. But it helps settle the conscience for having a fattie. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

I always use premium. Have used BP Ultimate for years but since they stopped doing Nectar points, I have moved to Esso Supreme+ Diesel (B7).

That, and having good quality chargers. The charger itself can make a huge difference in the experience. It is silly to compare and suggest that electricity is similar like different kind of fuel. It isn't when its at rest, but it can be when you transport it. |

No, I'm sure just like premium fuels BP and Shell will get their boffins to really optimize the electron flow to give you more miles per kilowatt, more performance, longer lasting motor and better for the environment. I cant wait, watching out for the adverts for snakeoil as we speak BMW i3 Electric Car

@ajgalaxy are you joking or not? I mean it has to be a joke, but since you link it directly to premium fuels there seems to be a serious point in there that you are trying to make. Come on dude, spell it out and share your wisdom. 👍 |

Im sure there will be just as many EV drivers suckered into spending extra on fuel as there are petrol / diesel drivers buying premium fuels for little / no gain. Thats my point, me? never use premium fuels and bog standard electricity dispensed from a home designed wallbox \ charger.

I agree, I am sure Shell, BP and others will sell Premium EV charges with extra cleaning additives and higher grade elect‘RON’ additives to make your electric motors run smoother, cleaner and produce more power and lower emissions... there will be nice glossy videos everywhere as ‘evidence’.

This is one of those subjects where you’ll never change anyone’s mind. It’s amazing how good marketing is these days isn’t it. |

As stated in a previous post, I don’t use ‘premium’ diesel. I do wonder how in these litigious times the likes of Shell can make such claims if they are total bs:
