huytonman Posted May 31, 2022 Report Share Posted May 31, 2022 my 2010 3.4S returns around 24mpg according to the computer and no complaints from me at that level. I did have one a few years back that exceeded 30mpg on a mway drive but I avoid those drives now. I use 95 RON and Millers additive to boost the octane number by 2, been doing that for years with no ill effects and it does save a few bob over time.

Codfanglers Posted May 31, 2022 Report Share Posted May 31, 2022 Has anyone tried Aguri FTC fuel catalyst pellets in their tank? Improves MPG, reduces emissions, removes carbon build-up, restores performance. The scientific theory behind them is very interesting and provides conclusive proof that there's one born every minute. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me of when I got banned from a Ford forum for a while when some company was trying to flog some tosh-“vortex” exhausts! I think the claim was that it would gain you 20%increase in power,and 15% increase in fuel consumption and would work on big diesels aswell. When I questioned how come they hadn’t sold this magical technology to Ford or GM or Volvo trucks etc ,it was all in negotiations apparently 😂 I called him a snake oil salesman and got banned for a while because he was a site sponsor!! Some of the people in there were lapping this bullshyate up hahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite right too, don’t let it happen again. Right guys, back to N rated tyres, auto vs manual, 986 or 987, and the best solution to the IMS risk… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are a very tolerant and respectful bunch, it took months for a 'Buttercup' (Buttercup) discussion thread to get closed down when it was getting out of hand and even then it wasn't getting really pointed and personal. A high of low mpg thread or any other matter on the cars whatever point of view is welcome. Whether it is agreed with and some of the ideas it might bring forward? Well, see your recent topic on tyre pressures.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TV8 Posted May 31, 2022 Report Share Posted May 31, 2022 Not sure if either or both of them are on here or not but the guy who bought my Boxster has just been away with a friend of mine on a long trip (south London to the NC500 and back again) and my old car followed and stayed with the car in front for the whole journey and consistently cost £6 per tankful less to fill up! Both are 2005 2.7s and my old car has probably 20k fewer miles but that shouldn’t be enough to change anything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m way behind the curve on the tool collection thing but I’m slowly correcting that , although I can be a monkey with a wrench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul P Posted May 31, 2022 Report Share Posted May 31, 2022 I bought a set of flare spanners the other day. Purely because I hadn’t got any and I saw them talked about on here. Picked up a decent set from Amazon warehouse. Looks like someone bought them, used them and returned them. was half price. I know I will need them one day.

I'm trying to make it better but it is really far from perfect when you look closely, dent and score mark under the frunk for starters where it ahs been grounded in the past... I think of it as patination and character that show the car's life. Tools: full top 6 drawer box, 4 draw mid cab and 5 drawer roll cab; that's before we start on power tools.

sa utah Posted June 6, 2022 Report Share Posted June 6, 2022 I`ve just done a few long motorway trips and ended up at 38 MPG for my 2.7 That was cruise on cirlca 60 - 70 MPH I thought that was pretty decent considering. Round the doors the gauge reads 23 MPG regularly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
