Before the MOT ran out on my V6, I switched to regular unleaded and switched the RON plug back, noticed a slightly better MPG result but would need to test it thoroughly to determine the actual difference.

Must say, I can't complain. Running a Dodge Charger 440 Hemi would be more interesting :D

The v6 was more thirsty than my current impreza. I absolutely hated running it, heard Cavaliers are a bit better. I'd rather run a v8

No joke mate, wasn't even pushing it to be honest, just round town stop-start nonsense.. Put a tenner in, 15 or so miles later the needle was back where it was before :lol:


And yes, V8 any day :D Sorry to mess up your thread Troy :lol:

Hmm maybe, do love the sound of them.

Although my mrs uncle has a 1500bhp cortina V8 that he used to run a supercharger on but it just couldnt cut it anymore so upgraded to 2 massive turbos instead!

American hot rodders would laugh at 1500 hp.

Their way - get a classic Chevy body, custom chassis, ethanol powered supercharged V8 up front, 2000hp + and they're happy :D

What did you think I was referring to?? :scratch Owning a powerful car is simple, you give it a clean in the morning, tinker about with it for a bit, insert yourself in there, plough it down the road, really work the gear knob up and down to try all speed settings, quick shortcut up the back alley to the gas station, stick the big long pipe in the hole, fill it up, come back and chill out... Am I missing anything?

Yup, but like I said, not going there. Interested in seeing this thread getting back on track.
