i think in his case, he was at constant speed while being very careful, no A/C, windows up, not taking toilet breaks, limited audio...mite ruin the drive...800kms...

no no, no vtecing. i thought this was the issue, but i recently filled up and drove extra slow just to see how much i could get out of it. I probably change every 2.5-3,000 revs..
