• 'Standby' power drain 15 Aug 2006 (Forum)
  TVM's comment here http://www.honestjohn.co.uk/forum/post/index.htm?t=44019&m=485206&v=e got me thinking - I wonder how much power a modern car that to all intents and purposes is 'off' is actually drawing from the battery?
• Mazda 323 (1998 - 2003) - BP Ultimate & Shell V-Power 6 Jan 2009 (Forum)
  I know this has been discussed here few times but I just wanted to share my own experiences with both. In my 323 2.0 TD I've been filling it up with Shell V-Power for past 4/5 months. Almost 3 weeks ago, I filled it up with BP Ultimate and I noticed after driving it for a bit that car was a bit more responsive. What surprised me the most was that with the same amount of diesel and same sorts of journies I got 60 miles more.

• My car has got FMT 15 Oct 2006 (Forum)
  I have always used optimax as a preffered fuel when it was convenient to fill up with it and have started using V power now it has replaced optimax.
