Hi Ralph, When I rode high performance motor bikes, I used to change the engine oil every other week.. I used to work at the Steelworks in Shotton with one week Sunday to Friday and the next week Monday to Thursday. The oil was drained on Thursday night and refilled on the Friday morning. Peter.

Most drivers compare fuel consumption not because of the price but rather to become aware of any problem which may exist. I would become concerned if my humble S Type 2.7 Diesel started to show less than 40 mpg on a long run and start to look for the cause. I know that if I get over 500 miles on a tankful on mostly long runs that the engine is running correctly, and I know that if I get less than 400 on a tankful on average driving conditions that something other than me is causing a problem. I had a brand new Toyota Avensis in 1998 [company car] and the consumption on mostly longer runs was only around 30 mpg -- and that was with a 1.7 petrol engine. It also handled like a lame camel. Peter.

sorry I have one of the best sports cars in the world and have proved it to myself more importantly. who gives a s##t what it costs atb joe, ps moan about fuel buy a toyata

Hi Chris. I'm no expert, but I did 230miles with 50quid of V-Power and it was half motorway half urban and I have to admit I just can't be at a traffic light and not put the foot down on green! :D

Hi John I use oem petrol back boxes and Y pipe, I have been making up the 400mm or so "missing" section with a couple of flexis, It took quite a while to do the first one, I can do one now in about 3-4 hours, I am about to buy a exhaust pipe bender and flarer so I will be offering a one piece solution shortly, Subframe has to be lowered but thats the hardest bit.
