I know the Prime Minister said only BMW and Mercedes (clearly not Audi lol) use premium.
I'd like to switch from using premium in my 306 (using for the past 7 years) to using super.

I know that it's said that all you have to do is:
1. Use up the premium gas in your tank till it is on 'E'
2. At the pump, put in a 'gas treatment' before filling up with super.
3. Be happy with extra money left in your wallet so you can actually afford the $50 rice and $80 flour.

What i want to know is if anyone can recommend a particular gas treatment or better yet if you have a 306 sedan and do something similar. What would your advice be?

does the injector cleaner make the car a bit more fuel efficient?
Also, where do you get it?

one more thing..if you have an idea..how far do you get on a full tank?
that little button near the odometer can be reset each journey.
I get about 400km...is that good?
