Its a good scam.

Though my TDCI Focus certainly prefers Ampol diesel compared to Shell, maybe just something with my particular car but I get better fuel economy from the diesel from Ampol compared to BP or Shell.
Funny, after 6 or 7 years of 250km a day commute, I found that Caltex (now Ampol) diesel gave the worst economy. BP Ultimate gives best but not convient for me to purchase. Mostly I've used Mobil and Shell and get much of a muchness. The "premium" Mobil fuel has an additive that reduces foaming, so you actually get more in the tank when you fill so it seems like you go further. The other diesels dont quite fill completely due to foaming so less range.
