  There has been quite a bit of disscussion on using these higher octane fuels in cars, but has anybody tried them in bikes? I'm at the start of a small experiment, but had to restart as I refused to pay £1.07 instead of the usual price. Boris

• Diesel Tuning Chip / Unit 26 Jul 2007 (Forum)
  Anyone use anyone of these above before? These are sold on eBay ranging from £100 to £250. Does it work? Will it improve the fuel economy and provide extra power at the same time? How is this achieved? I suspect there will be side effects to the engine, i.e reducing the life of the engine??
• True MPG of real cars... 10 Jul 2007 (Forum)
  This is an interesting website: http://www.spritmonitor.de/en/ It is full of owners data of real MPG rather than fuel computer or manufacturers claims. It's a European site so it is all in l/100km but if you register you can change your settings to imperial.

  Does anyone know if the C-MAX 1.6TDCi 109PS with the CVT auto is any good? If not, can anyone think of any other diesel automatics that offer good fuel consumption within the same sort of price range? Interior space is also a priority.
• Disappearing Filling Stations 2 May 2006 (Forum)
  It seems that the rising cost of fuel is forcing on average 11 filling stations to close every week, which totalled almost 600 last year.!!!! If this trend continues or escalates, we`ll all be back to a pony & trap.!!!!!! http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/news/65918

• 60 Tonne Double Artics 14 Aug 2005 (Forum)
  Just heard on the news that some hauliers are seeking to introduce these monsters onto our motorways, one chap wants 80 tonners. I suppose as long as they keep to the M ways there will be little effect although they are 25M long. The idea of course is to save fuel.
