Consumption 330d

Anyone noticed a difference in mpg this last week or so?
I have not driven my car for 3 weeks as I get a company van every other week, got back in it last Friday run around on fumes for a day the fueled with bp ultimate. Since filling the obc is showing 34 mpg where as on shell v power it struggles with 30-31mpg normally and my driving has not changed I don't think.

I know the obc is not very good to go on, but overall it's pretty accurate when worked out on a tank to tank full up.

Just curious if its weather or fuel quality related? I assume the temperature increase has made a difference but its quite suprised me, to some it might be minimal but to me it's alot

Higher ambient temperatures will be causing this to be noticed.

It's definitely made a difference or a mix of both, either way it's good

Lol I've noticed a big difference this week too its as if its ran on fumes all week so far as normally I'd have used like a quarter of a tank and its only used half of that and I've hammered it everywhere

Normally stop using winter fuel in April too, that will see a good couple of mpg gain.

Yeah I agree, I did that, few ice cubes in the tank, couple of mint leaves, the car loves it.
