HellionXR6T I'm Back!! Thats right, long over due! :) Lifetime Members 4,348 Member For: 22y 16d Gender: Male Location: West Brisbane Posted 20/01/09 09:22 AM Share Posted 20/01/09 09:22 AM Been giving mine a hard time running it in and can't believe it's averaging only 12.7l per 100k at 2000kms. Easily 1/3 of that has been mountain driving. Could be a lot worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only ever use premium in my cars the trade off with price is equaled with less fuel consumption with normal unleaded.and I find BP ultimate is the best , and if you are near a shell with the optimax racing stick some in and be surprised how much different performance is ! awesome!

At the start they just want it to run gentle. Could be a load of sh*te but who knows?I.B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
