by chance i had to fill up and i happen to pass by a caltex station. not wanting a full tank (and still stubornly lookig for a unioil station) i only filled up p1k worth of diesel. as is my habit i reset the trip computer to zero. susrprise, the fc went up to 5.6 km/l. so after a few days, curious if it was just a mistake of some sort, i filled up again to full tank. this to further dilute the 1/4 tank of unioil diesel that was remaining when i filled last. i reset again the trip computer. fc was up to 6.2 km/l. this already more than doubly erase the P2 discount given by unioil!
am going back exclusively to caltex. presently overseas now but have asked the c.i.c. to follow through. hopefully it will come near my "new car" fc but i'd be happy even with a 7.
