Does anyone else notice when you fill the car at shell the tank isn't as full as say sainsbury?
I only get 310 range on computer there against 350 with tesco. Or is it this just happens to me. Ford fiesta.
Nope, it's just you.
One thought. The Shell station may have faster or more sensitive pumps, or a different nozzle, that cut off sooner, so they aren't filling the tank quite to the top. The Tesco pump may put in a couple more litres of gas before it cuts off.
Instead of just measuring the distance, record how much fuel you add, and how far you travel, and see if there's a difference. You might find you only put in 31 litres @Shell, and 35l @ Tesco, in which case your fuel use is exactly the same.
All fuel pumps are slightly different, so will click off at slightly different levels of fuel in the car's tank.
They will also click off earlier if they are pumping more quickly.
A two-sided pump will often use the same motor to pump fuel to both sides, so will pump more quickly if there's no-one filling at the other side of the pump putting extra load on the motor.
Do you always use the same pump at each filling station? It might just be that the particular pump you tend to use at your local Shell filling station is particularly sensitive and fast compared to the pump you regularly use at the other filling stations.

- Is it normal to have to fill the gas tank of a 2000 ford Taurus se every week? Don't laugh. I'm ignorant about cars and this is my first one. I own a 2000 Taurus station wagon. I drive 6 miles to work and 6 miles back every day and don't drive many other places than that. I live in the city. I'm filling my tank every week and my boyfriend says that's way too much. He says I should replace the spark plugs. Would he be correct?
- Does Anyone Else Think The 2015 Ford F-150 Looks Ugly? All the new features on the truck seem pretty promising… But the look of the truck isn't. I'm not sure if its just me but I think the new F-150 looks like a piece of garbage. I personally like the older generation models.
- Does anyone else have a name for their car? My family has a tradition of naming their cars, and I presently drive Ernie the Escape. We have had Skippy the Skylark, Delsina the Dodge Dynasty (don't ask), Iggy the Intrepid, Mable the Sable, Freda the Ford Five Hundred, and of course, last but not least, Ernie the Escape. Does anyone else do this or is it just my odd family?
