  • 28 Nov 2017 (Forum)
    I 'loved' the comment from the snowflake MK about their Yaris - don't they know how to calculate something as simple as mpg? Don't they realise that when you buy a small car, you get a small fuel tank? Its not as though HJ hasn't given this advice before, or that it can't be found on the interweb through the likes of a Google search.

    There has been quite a bit of disscussion on using these higher octane fuels in cars, but has anybody tried them in bikes? I'm at the start of a small experiment, but had to restart as I refused to pay £1.07 instead of the usual price. Boris

  • Vauxhall Astra G Petrol (1998 - 2004) - Exhaust centre box. 21 May 2009 (Forum)
    Would not having a centre box on a Z16XE engine be of any benefit other than the initial savings of not paying for it? How would not having the unit there effect the engine, fuel consumption and performance?

  • Diesel Tuning Chip / Unit 26 Jul 2007 (Forum)
    Anyone use anyone of these above before? These are sold on eBay ranging from £100 to £250. Does it work? Will it improve the fuel economy and provide extra power at the same time? How is this achieved? I suspect there will be side effects to the engine, i.e reducing the life of the engine??
  • True MPG of real cars... 10 Jul 2007 (Forum)
    This is an interesting website: http://www.spritmonitor.de/en/ It is full of owners data of real MPG rather than fuel computer or manufacturers claims. It's a European site so it is all in l/100km but if you register you can change your settings to imperial.

If this trend continues or escalates, we`ll all be back to a pony & trap.!!!!!! http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/news/65918/soaring_fuel_prices_threaten_to_force_drivers_off_road.html
