It may well be the case mate... but I can only speak on behalf of myself. I haven't changed my driving habits one bit in the last 12 months for the purpose of this excercise... yet in the last month after switching from BP to Mobil and don't think I did it because of money or trying to get better fuel economy. I did it because it is cheaper on Sydney Road than the equivalent BP. It may only be around 2c a litre on a Tuesday but for me to provide NO effort to save 2c a litre I am prepared to do it.

It has also provided me with a .3L per 100k's saving.

I'm not in to driving around to try and save fuel, I don't have the time. I work out that my personal time, be it driving to and from work or my own time on the weekend is worth $100 a hour. If it costs me more than that to get around to try and save money then to me it isn't worth it.

I suggest you do the same and you will start to have a different view on the world.
