Actually, you will get more km from a higher octane fuel in most cases.


This is true.... but value for money is apparently 95.

TIP FOR THE DAY:

Don't use MSN at work when the boss is standing behind you.

I agree completely.... i used to have a Gold coloured VX and I was always not being seen by other drivers.... so I started driving with lights on as often as I could - especially at dusk....

To add to the Fuel tips too - I have found the E-10 to burn too fast for the 3 cents you save, so I try to keep to use 95 or 98 RON and use a shopping docket to get the 4 cents to balance the added cost from normal ULP

Lights on - Great idea for high visibility.
I use 95 RON all the time and get good economy,I've gotten down to 6.1 Litres/100KMS on a trip using the cruise control a fair bit to avoid Highway patrol surprises!
98 RON is good occasionally on a trip to clean out the cobwebs and the injectors.
