£10. I just drove a 14 mile round trip. Smell of burning tar when stood in traffic. Then back fire climbing a hill. Engine seems to be running fine. Im getting about 17 miles to £10 0f fuel I can only say from previous experience... On a "Highland drive" north of me a few years back I filled a spare can of petrol while I was at the petrol station , but never needed it. A few months later I chucked it in the tank to get rid of it (tank was 3/4 full anyway). I couldn't even get out of the car park at work aftwerwards. I could barely move the car.(in perfect smoke rings) and if I tried to rev past 2,000rpm the car would just bog-down to the point of stalling and mis-fire and jerk like hell. When they inspected the remains of the can and agreed it smelled very funny -but we all knew it wasn't diesel then they let-off, we towed the car up to the ramps and dropped everything in the tank. Took about 10 full tank fulls afterwards to clear the symptoms completely and it's been back to normal ever since!!!...That's my only experience of folk describing what a "dollop of diesel in a petrol is like". Mine's very choosy on fuel though. I'm not sure if that helps you or not. Sometimes it makes allot of difference. guess i need to upgrade my memeber ship
