Oh dear, I think I laughed so hard I burst a blood vessel. :lol:

98 and 98 ONLY in your tank. Mileage wise I squeeze 10km/L ~ 400km/40L fill if i'm lucky. It's usually around 375km / 40L. Open road I can get 500km and still have gas in the tank. So I put it done purely to the fact the accelerator is glued to the floor and it's short trips twice a day.

91? Just say no.

As for the fuel guage, they aren't 100% accurate, reset the trip meter next time you fill up. I do roughly 400km each fill but only put in 40L. Only when I have been caught with no local 98 have I gone lower than about 10L in the tank.

LOL~ there was a while when I use V-Power from shell all the time.
I think I got 170Ks out of $30 of 95 from Mobile last time (which is unexpectedly good imo), not sure how much I would get this time from $30 of 98 from BP :P
