The only difference I found that when i was running my car on 98, my car smells of Petrol when I get out ?? guess i will have to look at other options to increase my kms per tank. (I'm not happy with an average of 8.7L per 100kms)
Walk, bicycle or carpool.
If you drive a car it will use petrol and 8.7 per 100km is about average for a 1.8 jap hatch. My not knowing your unique driving requirements in this instance is not important because I really don't care. My Mazda 2 uses that much fuel and that's a 1.5 in a smaller, lighter chassis but it's more about how I use it than how it's tuned.

OK I've had my winge... What fuel milage would you consider reasonable for your BJ and why?
