I have never bothered to work out what mpg i get from this, i just fill it up when it gets low. dont own a car like this to worry about fuel consumption.

deffo true. at the minute my fuel gauge doesnt work, so i have to keep a close eye on things. it normally costs me $30 to fill up using 94 at $1.24/ltr and I get 150 miles out of that.

Im sure ill have to rethink that number once I get all my bits put on that i collected.

Got a intercooler to go on, ported and knife edged inlet, im making up my own exhaust system, uprated fuel pump, looking for a mustang svo or t-bird MAF, ECu and Throttle body, ranger 2.3t cam, uprated actuator

should do around 270 bhp.

Should be nice power if you can achieve it. must annoying having such rubbish fuel available. Mine will be even better end of month when gotech pro management fitted and green top injectors are supplying fuel. be even better on the stuff.

I don't 'think' u can compare north american fuel ratings to ours. When I am on the M3 boards (mainly American posters) they state that there is a difference in the gradings. SO basically 90 isn't as utterly shite as we think it is.

v power if using day to day with bits of hard driving,on a long run (with missis and kids in)super unleaded as its a little bit cheaper and I dont get the chance of wailing the car.I have just covered about 550-600 miles and its cost me about £120 but there is still 20liters of fuel left
