Yep, all that, especially tire pressure. I gained 1 mpg running 35psi instead of 32psi. A tab bit bumpier on the little bupms, tho. 15.5 city...21 hwy. using 89 octane. 89 N/a with intake/2.5" exhaust.

we get 61kms to $10 96octane

petrol here sucks LOL

i'm finding a thread that was helpful for this... i'll find it and post it up in the faqs

96 octane!!!! For $10.00!!! WOW, I raced a Toyota Celica here for a while and had to use 110 octane for $6.00 a gallon and I thought that was high. You are being polite only saying that it the price sucks there. I would think you would have used up a whole can of the heated KY jelly and walked funny after a fillup.

Maybe we can hook up a pipeline there to give you a break! LMAO!

True, I actually got to keep my leg at my last fillup, $2.56 a gallon, but still..........I see these poor people with their dual tanks on their pickups and feel better about my fillup.
