Project!!

[TurboBeast]

Right all I have been bored lately so I need a project of some type.  One I was thinking of was running different RON fuels and different petrol stations and logging the results etc and giving a write up of the findings, any other ideas on projects I could do??

Suggest away!!

interesting

ideally you want the same test conditions

same journeys for every type of fuel
keep to the same speeds if possible
do some data logging with say 4 full throttle runs for comparison

On the subject of RON (who the f**k is RON lol)

I have been using the normal unleaded stuff for a while, well since it was cheaper to buy ale than petrol!

last night at RAF brize norton my petrol warning came on and i knew i have another 20 odd miles in her to get to the petrol station

Filled up with BP ultimate 98 RON.

It makes such a difference on how the engine sounds/performs

AND for some reason when i sit at 70mph + ~10, i get better MPG than i did on 95 RON

normally at around 80 i get 34 MPG

Now i get 38 MPG, so i think i will be sticking with BP ultimate from now on

filled up with 51 lts, reset trip i get 300 miles out of a tank so 51 divide by 4.5 = 11.33 gallons 300 divide by 11.33 = 26.4MPG uinless my math is wrong

What do other 2.0 get then?  I average at least 34mpg.
