More likely to be pre-cat codes... I only get them when I've had the whole family in the car and have done lots of "Miss Daisy" driving... Once I'm on my own and driving a little more "enthusiastically" I don't get any issues.

That's a myth.  It's the same stuff.

I would think it highly unlikely that one application of very diluted injector cleaner has had any significant effect.  If it did, nobody would ever bother to remove injectors and ultrasonic clean them.

Next you'll be telling it's delivered from the same depots!!!


And a clogged injector is much more likely to not close and leak like a politician, rather than offer any restriction. I poured a litre of fuel out an injected Pinto manifold while trying to diagnose why it had gone from doing 35mpg to 8. Which wasn't doing my 500mile a week commute much good.

If your lucky it is!
I read an article (Honest John. Telegraph) That claimed the supermarkets try to buy off UK refineries, which is fine when they achieve that.....if they carnt, for whatever reason, they then turn to Europe to buy it.....then the problems begin.....European fuel doesn't have all the additives that UK fuel has......

I think all petrol comes from the same place. In Somerset it comes from Avonmouth depot. All the road tankers collect there, Tesco, Shell, whatever, but collect additives as they leave from coded dispensers.
