Im in a 1.6 16v and averaging 44mpg using 99 tesco momentum!  :laugh:

Do you see a difference in MPG using momentum to normal unleaded?

yes mate a big difference, last time i filled up with 95 i got no where near that mpg!

Weird from a low powered car my mates 1.6 fiesta sees no difference but good that you do :D

ok my MPG is scared of going over 24 but i'm wondering if leaking boost pipes could cause the problem too? and i seem to do better miles with half a tank than with a full tank? could it be the extra weight?
