  I have a 318 with the new fuel efficient valvetronic engine. Does anyone with a similar car check their fuel consumption figures? I'm getting 43mpg on the motorway, and 33mpg on A roads. This seems less than BMW's own figures. Is this normal? Also, does it make any difference using Super Unleaded

• Nissan Micra- loss of power. 5 Jun 2003 (Forum)
  I have a Nissan Micra 1.0 16v 1993 (the newer shape one). It starts and idles OK, but complete loss of power when the accelerator is pressed and cuts out. I have changed the fuel filter, rotor arm and distributor cap with no significant benefit. Could it be a faulty fuel pump or something else

• all - local diesel 19 Mar 2012 (Forum)
  local deesel prices in Hampshire are almost up to 150p a litre. The latest protest by the fairfuel organisation has seemingly fallen on deaf ears. Motorists pay so many taxes it would be interesting to work out how much the average owner pays a year. Road tax, fuel tax, VAT on parts and labour
