yeah mine is about 40 miles to a tenner of super max! but i think the auto ones do use a bit more than a manual. i once went through a 40 quid fill up in 150 miles! though that was fast drivin round bendy lanes with hills!

After sorting a boost leak i just got 150 miles and the tank is showing half full. Before I got about 240 miles before It was showing empty ..reckon i'm getting about 30 mpg now on shell v-power
I'm going to try dropping the fuel pressure off boost to give me a bit more economy when i'm pootling about around town.

filled mine up last night £40 and drove to southend (85miles from mine)...there and back with doing 125mph twice and ragging around basildon i used just over half a tank.

I think that is a lot but who knows....

my rover turbo 200bhp used to get 350miles to £40 even when i ragged it and done 155mph.

S12's seem pretty juicy


but i love it
