  is since I had an oil change I have been getting 2-4mpg less on urban driving. Do you think revving the engine whilst it is idling uses more petrol than holding onto low gears while driving and is the 27mpg only a guide ? What about cold weather - does this really reduce fuel economy on modern cars

  tweaked (as it's a late mk1 it's got electronic ignition) or shall I switch to super unleaded or an additive? I don't use the car much so I'm not that worried about the extra cost of changing the fuel or using additive. I'd rather pay the extra than potentially knacker the engine long term! Any

  My VW Scirocco has a Bosch fuel injection system. A warm-up mixture control device is bolted to the side of the cylinder block. Although there appears to be little to wear out or go wrong with this unit, it does drift off optimum setting with time. Whilst to some extent this can be offset

  and asked, "Should I turn it off then?".
