    Thats interesting, i have found as have many 200sx owners that using optimax nets you an extra 30-60 miles per tank on average.

    Strange that you get the opposite?

    Lol I wish Super can drop me down to 180 miles to a tank and optimax, 160. But then i spend most of my time in 3rd & 4th gear and hardly no motorway miles

    '97 Civic 1.8VTi 5dr

    Fuel - £35 = 250miles
    12k a year and approx £600 in servicing, £750 ins.

    About £250+ a month

    Considering how hard I drive that's damn cheap!

    Oh and I guess we're talking about £80 depreciation per month as well!!!!!
