Local Petrol Prices
If you’re anything like me, I’m always checking out local petrol prices. I do it subconsciously, and it never ceases to amaze me how local petrol prices can significantly vary from one part of town to the next.
So I thought I would write this post to give you the heads up on what you can do to save money on local petrol prices.
Local Petrol Prices
Before you drive down to your local petrol station, (you know… simply out of convenience), to save money on petrol prices try using the free website PetrolPrices.com to find the cheapest petrol, diesel and LPG near you.
Ok I know maybe a little “long” as you have to register to use the service, but in the long run, it could save you big! Just enter your postcode and “Bob’s your uncle,” you’ll be provided with a list of the cheapest local petrol stations in your area.
Local Petrol prices: Promotions
For some reason Supermarkets seem to be cheap for fuel, and even better if you can grab a petrol price promotion. Searching out these opportunities out can add to your savings, with the deals generally offering a “spend £60 and get 10p off/litre” type of vouchers. So keep a look out to see what you can pick up.
Don’t buy premium fuels for standard cars
Do you have a sports car? You know… a high performance pedal to the metal sports car?
If like me, you own a car that is on the more standard side of the vehicle spectrum, you’ll be interested to know that although most petrol stations sell ‘high performance’ fuels, there’s little or no performance difference for standard cars.
The AA agrees stating, “Most high performance fuels are too pricey for regular use.”
So in an attempt to save money on local petrol prices, don’t fill up with super fuels unless you’ve got a sports car, and you’ve actually been advised that your vehicle will use the fuel effectively.
There are however, some benefits to super fuel. Your engine may benefit from the extra detergents that these types of fuels have. If you can be bothered, the AA suggests using three full tanks of super fuel one after the other to keep the engine clean and efficient, and then thereafter revert back your normal petrol.
Good ‘ole Oil
One thing I always advise to save on local petrol prices, and it’s very simple, is to use some good ‘ole quality engine oil. So search out the manufacture’s preferred oil of choice and use it. Not only will it help make your car’s engine last longer but better fuel consumption could be a strong possibility.

THE TRUTH ABOUT TERRACLEAN
The sceptics.
The sceptics are on one side of the chasm, the early adopters and experienced professionals perhaps on the other.
Which leads nicely onto –
WHAT’S THE TRUTH ABOUT TERRACLEAN?
If you’re a car enthusiast and you haven’t heard about Terraclean, the chances are you soon will, and if you’re sceptic about Terraclean or perhaps looking for something that can offer you better performance and efficiency then this Terraclean blog is for you.
The British public love their automobiles, from the loyal Top Gear followers, to the car aficionados, so when a new “fabo” product hits the market, which promises all the bells and whistles, it’s natural to be sceptical… right?
I’ve seen the good, the bad and the ugly and I’m not one to be easily swayed… so intrigued by all the Terraclean hype I decided to put this product to the test, through our own very own Terraclean boot camp – to establish the cold facts.
So first up:
TERRACLEAN…WHAT IS IT?
To use an analogy:
If you’re a Saturday take your car to the carwash type of guy, or a Sunday before dinner, wash, wax and car polish connoisseur, you’ll understand that irrespective of age – all vehicles require a good clean and every now and again, a professional onceover to maintain their bodywork lustre.
Terraclean is on the flip side of that coin, advertised to offer you all that and more but… for your car engine.
I’m an advocate of new technology, but with so much fluff and hype out there… only if it works.
So always the sceptic – without further ado lets get into the results of our Terraclean boot camp.
TERRACLEAN BOOT CAMP
Terraclean… Wax on Wax off
In simple terms, what Terraclean accomplishes is to give your entire fuel system a well-deserved “wax on, wax off ” spring clean, by knuckling down on decarbonising your car’s fuel system, together with the oxygen sensor and the catalytic converter.
So Terraclean really is an advanced decarbonising solution for your car – ok but why all the hype?
Right now, in this economy with fuel prices rocketing, money in your pocket is king.
Whether you want to restore your car’s efficiency or you want to maximise its performance, one treatment of Terraclean can save you digging deep into your pockets long term.
Through our Terraclean boot camp, we tested and measured a notable increase in vehicle performance, so much so that if your car is slightly older in age, there’s a good chance it will feel like you’ve rolled back the years to when your had that responsive edge.
For the ever-conscious (and growing) eco car tribe out there, across all vehicles tested there was also a notable reduction in harmful emissions – which in turn will help Terraclean users to do their bit for the environment.
“Quite simply, Terraclean works”
Hand over fist, conscious car owners nationwide have been attracted to the Terraclean technology, with some vehicle owners travelling lengthy distances to have Terraclean treatments.
Although prices may vary, what’s crucially important is to make sure that your car is serviced by a registered Terraclean specialist, because believe you me – this is not something you want to get wrong, and I warn you now, Terraclean treatments do require an expert.
With all of the above is seems like a home run for Terraclean… but perhaps not, everything has it flaws.
THE DOWNSIDE
Terraclean Downsides…?
Although Terraclean responded exceptionally well with slightly older, higher compression, multi- valve, petrol and diesel, and direct injection engines, we found that with newer vehicles the increase in performance was negligible.
In the know
Sorry to get slightly technical, but to help you understand this better; when Terraclean is applied, carbon deposits are removed from the entire fuel system, including the oxygen sensors.
Terraclean uses advanced chemistry to decarbonise the engine system from harsh additives. The chemicals used in Terraclean are safe for the user, the vehicle, as well as the environment, and is totally different from treatments where detergents and other solvents are used to clean cars, which emit emission after the cleaning services.
So naturally then, newer or lower mileage cars will have less carbon deposits on their elements, less carbon additives to remove, hence the measured upturn in performance (understandably so), will only be slight.
Perhaps this is a possible Terraclean thumbs down for newer, lower mileage cars. But irrespective… the Terraclean technology does what it says on the tin, and is the only decarbonising treatment of its kind that unassumingly works.
TERRACLEAN WAS AN ACCIDENT
I don’t know a great deal about Canada, I know the Olympics have been hosted there and that it’s a beautiful country. But what I do know is that Terraclean was born out of a result of fierce competition between companies to develop decarbonising products formulated from existing technologies.
Terraclean was a scientific accident, a breakthrough that was unintentionally discovered, as a result of a committed crew of environmentally responsible Canadian physicists who were attempting to create a very low emission combustion engine of which the birth child is – Terraclean. Since then the Terraclean technology has evolved to become the best decarbonising solution for car engines – the rest, as they say is history.
Sceptic or not, Terraclean is no fad.
And, the hype? Well… it’s deserved.
So if you want something special, reasonably priced, to save you money on fuel, and importantly something that actually works for your car and the environment, cross the Terraclean chasm and get in touch, we’d love to help.
