My EP3 CTR

[tony_b]

Hi

i have owned my CTR a week now
Just want to check...

i've covered 500 miles and cost £90 in fuel
A mixture of roads and driving styles.
£35 of fuel @ £1.18 p/l
and £55 @ £1.12 p/l

does this sound about right?

Cheers

sounds roughly right around 300 a tank is good for a ep3 try using super unleaded instead of bog standard petrol and as you get used to the car you will learn how to get the most out of it and drive it more economicaly

 

[tony_b]

Yeah i've brimmed it with normal fuel today and going to see how many miles i get and how it preforms, then ill brim it with super unleaded so i can see the difference

 

[Toolapc]

you will find most people run them on super unleaded its just all around beter for the car.

 

[tony_b]

yeah i think im just being a tight ass to be fair haha

 

[Toolapc]

haha i wish i had the option the scoob wont run on anything but the best

i run mine on v-power which has just turned 120.9p
i have had 250 miles on a tank, 70ish motorway and 180 spirited driving

 

[tony_b]

does it preform any better?

 

[Rysz85]

i have only ever put v-power in since i got the car
i know some people who put regular in after using super/v-power and they said the car didnt feel like it was running as well
but they do not know whether this is a placebo effect or not

 

[tony_b]

Ah well the next tank ill use v-power. My G/f seems to think she knows you! She's Sara Jeapes!

Its true the difference isnt that noticeable untill you go back to normal unleaded. I went back for one fill up the car was horrible to drive was really jerky off the bottom i was getting well annoyed with it so i always use super now lol
