that was pretty heavy footed stuff but even so! it's a 1.6litre hatch weighing just over a ton!

i use just normal shell unleaded and gettin 37.9 mpg thats driving the m69 and into leicester town centre everyday and back, i tried optimax for about a month and it was much lower than that dunno why, it must just burn faster.
