Consumption Statistics

Have you ever wondered if fuel is just fuel? There are some mighty high price differences out there - but are the quality as different as the prices - or ist fuel at the end of the day just fuel? What about the quality of the fuel when you are abroad? Should you fuel your car before you enter a new country or is it the other way around, that what you get abroad is better than what you get at home? On these pages you can get a hint about the quality and prices.

Of course there are some deviations here. Some brands will be more represented than others. But still - I find it interesting to follow this. When I had a Honda Civic from 2001, I tried something similar. Here it showed that the discount brands also resulted in a fuel economy which was anything but good. Looking at the graphs here you might think that the car became better and better over time. This is partly true - partly not quite true. In 2012 my job situation changed. The result was, that I had to drive quite a bit more every day. In 2013 I took a major decision in my life. Packed my suitcases and moved to Germany. Here my way of driving changed even more dramatically. This can easily be seen in the numbers. These changes in my life means that you will have to read the numbers and graphs in more detail.

To see how the comsumption changes over time the easiest way is to to this graphically. Here I do not look at brands - more on time of the year.

Additional Information: As I have 2 different graphs at the same time, thigs might get a bit weird to look at. Move the curser over one of the lines and you will se which of the measurings methods is used. The value of the red curve can be seen to the left and the blue tot he right. The red curse should be as high as possible and the blue as low as possible when things are good.
