the fuel consumption easily doubles when i drive in the city....go figure!
That's pretty much what I am getting now. My Euro Accord has only 4,000kms on it so I am expecting better consumption further down the track. I too use BP Ultimate it seems to give sharper response but does not offset the increase in consumption when I frequent a certain mountain pass, I guess you have to pay for your fun. Fortunately I live in the country so I get a lot of empty roads. Even though I think the 7.8 figure is good it comes nowhere near the 5.7 I used to get in my Peugeot 306 HDI diesel. Yes, I know apples and oranges comparison.
