does this mpg sound right?

[HighwayStar]

Half a tank.....£20? Where are you getting your petrol you lucky man?

It sounds about right. The capacity is 48 litres, so considering you probably have some left over when the guage is at bottom, it could be close. I think my last "full fill" was 43 litres, and regular petrol is under £1 a litre now, so roughly half a tank for £20 sounds ok.

i'm guessing because high octane fuels aren't available very widely in ireland ? hence stand-alone and a proper tune for 95 being the ideal solution ?

exactly mate, most juice here is 95ron and the 98+ stuff has ethanol in it, which i was told is a bit more corrosive than normal petrol and would have to replace fuel filter after a few uses and possible get new fuel lines.

So i just plan to install power fc and map it for 95, shame as im sure i will lose a good few horses running on 95 compared to 97-98+

ive started not to let the petrol go below quater of a tank because it doesnt last 5 minutes,so i put £20 in and get 3 quaters of a tank and started geting just over 100 miles

When I stick £20 in it only goes up to about 2 notches below halfway. Then again my fuel gauge reads slightly higher than it should for some reason so it's difficult to work out exactly.

[honda_crf_04]

Nah, no worries there- the Tesco 99 RON fuel here is part Bio-Ethanol too.

If you want to run 95 RON, no my old rev2 that meant running timing at around 5 deg BTDC

Is that bad? I've been only using that and v-power depending on weather a tescos or a shell is nearer?

250 miles is normal for me in a full tank of SUL

Nope, nothing wrong with ethanol, has very high octane!

[marc GT Turbo]

i dont care atm v power £102.9

[Nails]

I paid 101.9 the other night, its come down almost 30p since I bought the motor, its nearly a tenner difference per tank. hopefully this might keep our car prices stable now petrol is becoming resonable again, well for how long anyway

[Taylor]

[AAB]
