Noted someone saying they got really high mpg,then worked out they must have been using the US gallon for their conversion from litres, not the 4.54 litres to 1 gallon the rest of the planet uses!

US gallon is 3.786 litres.


Personnaly I get more economical mpg on Shell Ultimate and lot lot less on supermarket cheap stuff. On a tankful shell works out cheaper on a long run.


Cheers

The first dip was where I had to take the ΛLIVE map off for warranty work, then the scecond dip was firstly beecause I made the exhaust system pretty much straight through, and loving the noise it produces at 3-4000rpm Embarassed followed by about 2 tanks of off road. This was a week ago- but it is now back up in the 27-28mpg.

This is with this on it:

Oh, and all the fuel out here is cr@p- not even a sniff of something like Ultimate or Optimax (I do put 2 stroke in though).
