Higher octane fuel
Hi, I have just taken delivery of a 5 door hatch, location Eastern Australia. My main problem is that I may need to be prised out of the driver's seat sometime. I love the damn thing!
The VVTi obviously smooths out a lot of things, but feel that stating 91 RON as the fuel to use doesn't make sense to me. Marketing silliness, IMO. Given that the compression ratio is 10.5:1; I reckon on my 1st fill, (sometime in 2010...LOL  ), I may switch to 95 RON. I think that I may get increased mpg, more zip/smoother...though few complaints there; and also be kinder to the motor.It's a 1.3 litre donk. Would welcome anyone's experiences. ...Oops! Just found some threads...Mods feel free to flick my thread. Thanks... |
