well so you still have 10 litres left. Usually you should get more with optimax though because its a denser fuel.

try getting some injector cleaner. I sometimes use the blue bottle (chemtech) I think. Blue bottle with a picture of a truck on it. You pop a little bit in before you fill up.

Has your car been regularly serviced? ie oil change, fuel filter, oil filter, etc??

Oh, and I have a stock filter that my cousin got out of a front cut, so I doubt filter will make much difference. Is it clean?

I do...I use BP ultimate.

apparently doesn't mean it has

it probably needs a service.

B16A I know - but on a trip to Melbourne I get 520kms on 38 liters. That's with the SiR's gearing too.

I only run BP ultimate or Optimax in it - Optimax when I'm in Vic as Ultimate isn't the easiest to find.

I use mobil 1 5-50. I've found in the EK VTIR it tends to gulp more fuel than the teg if you rev it a bit during that driving period on that tank.

5-50 is pretty thick for street usage I would recommend 0-40 or 10-30...but for track usage the added protection of the 5-50 grade oil will be better although it does rob power just a little.
