Re: Petrol and Ethanol
S'all good then. Fuel consumption is back where it should be, or will be when you get back out.

Re: Petrol and Ethanol
whatever they sell at Tescos, it gets terrible mpg in my wife's Civic compared to most other petrol stations, probably 5-6mpg less than usual, we normally get 35-40mpg.
