IN sydney CBD, Bahh I shall not even bring that up!
Suffice to say that WA Perth still has plenty of open freeways and highways uncluttered by traffic lights except in some areas / suburbs like FremantleQuote:

It's so easy though once someone explains. It's because interstate drivers have no idea how to do it. The first time we went down to melb, we ended up with lots of honking from the other drivers when we tried to do our own version of the hook turn. LOL. Now I know how to do it properly.Quote:

My gf just came back from melb. She says it's so difficult to drive there. Haha, I want to see a melb driver try to drive around Sydney cbd. It would be so funny and scary! Hehehe.
06 Euro Manual Lux drank 9.0L/100K for first 6000 clicks using HONDA oil only.
Lowest full tank avg consumption = 8.6
Hightest full tank avg consumption = 9.5 (heavy sydney traffic - makes me fang down back streets with satnav)

If you start turning when the lights are yellow u can be caught, as my friend found out. Although what you said has some truth in it because most Melburnians get this part wrong and start turning when the original direction lights turn yellow! Sometimes if I wait too long so I do it 'properly' I even get the horn from behind, but who cares about them - I care about my wallet!
:o :( :o
I just started using BP Ultimate 98 finally in my car.
Previously have used SHELL 96, SHELL Optimax 98, Vortex 96 (no 98 in Vic yet I think), Mobile Synergy 8000.
I think BP Ultimate runs smoother in the Accord Euro than the other fuels, and feels more zippy than Optimax 98 seat of the pants. Between BP Ultimate 98 and Mobile Synergy 98? The engine sound is diff. Not entirely sure which is better performance wise.
Fuel economy wise, all fuels were to me the same. I might get 20kph more out of Synergy 8000 but then again it could just be my right foot adjusting to the fuel price? :O
Does any1 know if you can get Synergy 8000 in QLD? Some ppl rave about it and I wanna try it but can't find it anywhere. The only premium Mobil have here is 95RON.
My consumption has slowly been getting better. Car is up to 20K km's and now make 500-550km's per tank city driving. Not bad for an Auto I thought. When I first got the car it was 400-420 or so. Mind you I did hit VTEC more often as it was a novelty. :)
Ive had my car for about a month now.
The first full fill I did- on crap 7Elevn normal pump unleaded I was amazed to get 680kms out of the tank. I did drive well into the warning light aswell. All city driving..
Im not really fussed what fuel I put in it.
My old S15 would get about 460kms-Always 98+ Octane booster.
Im happy with the milage from a heavier car.
The Euro is meant to run on at least 95 octane. So please put premium or 98 before your engine suffers anymore predetonation...Quote:

Better do that now hey.
Still have a few bottles of octane booster to chuck in.:thumbsup:
If you have 1/2 tank or less of 91 in there, you could fill up with 98. Or octane booster is good too (if you don't need it for your S15 that is). :thumbsup:Quote:
