If you're SO worried about economy, use 98 ron, but just don't let your car rev over 4,000rpm. :P

And with the thing about expensive petrol?? just skip on eating junk food for a few days of the week...theres your petrol money right there!
ive only fanged it a few times on this tank, most other times i have the gf in the car and she spits everytime i fang it! its running close to 300km at the moment, i got it with half a tank and did a little over 200k and then filled her up, with just under a quarter to go! but i think i might run 98 next time round to see the diff. 98 here like like 1.35 p/ltr!
you serious? hmmm...might need to have a check up then. :thumbdwn: :thumbdwn: :thumbdwn:Quote:

zorrt, see your PM. Your car might be stuffed (theremostat?)
Anyway, I've noticed not all 98 rons are created equal. Before I got my thermostat fixed, I was doing about 100km/10ltrs on BP Ultimate. I tried Shell Optimax, and got about 70km/10ltrs.
I allways found my old crappy Lancer ran better on BP Ultimate than on Shell Optimax too (when you have a rough car like that, you figure out fast what is good and what isn't).
Now that my thermostat is fixed, I'm gonna try Shell Optimax again to compare the economy. Personaly I wouldn't put it in my engine, 'cept I'm curious. As far as I'm concerned Ferrari can keep their smelly petrol.
i thought that 400km per full tank (40 litres) was normal for an integra... if not, then what is?
i get 550 easy from baby driving and 450 - 500 from fanging it
BP ultimate. My car has 125k on the clock
i NEVER got 550 on a full tank in my R... 420 MAX... this was using optimax.
I was a leadfoot and the car had I/H/E and non-progammable ecu. 550 is massive.
Not babying my car at all, it's done 369kms on just under 3/4 a tank of petrol so far.
I'll have a better idea of it's economy once I've owned it for longer than a month. lol.
