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. I could assume that some fuel companies might hate pages like this, but on the other hand it might get one which is loved by the comsumers. I assume I can live with the fuel companies being mad at me.

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. With my first Honda Accord things got somewhat gray. But it was interesting for me to notice that fuel from Shell simply wasn't something the car liked to drive. It will therefore be interesting to see how my new Accord behaves. As time goes by the statistical material for this page will be better and better. I therefore suggest you follow these pages more intensly.

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.

SUGGESTION: 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.
