I always wondered why japan had such a high octaine level rating and uks was so low. Guess its about time. Well I guess its no good for me and my 1.6 astra :fadein: but im pleased there at least giving people a better quality fuel for the rip off prices

wrong. 270hp 4 Cylinder K04 Turbo at 4500rpm
how many MPG do you get? 5? must be hell for you these days.
|
Oh my bad.. a 270bhp 4 cylinder.
My 480bhp 5.7l V8 returned an average of 12.0 mpg after a 150 mile thrashing through the woods.. speeds ranged into the 160mph range - with most of time being spent in the 5000 to 6000rpm range.
I am guessing 4 cylinder turbos are not the best powerplants out there
|
pssssh....on public roads? that's not a thrashing my truck driving friend.
take it to the track...we'll see if it survives 2 or 3 laps. there, i redline at 7500rpm and easily spend my time between 5k and 7k...
why are you going 160 on a public road? a bit daft...
4 cylinder turbos are definitely NOT the best engines out there....but they're damn good fun, and when i'm not thrashing it, i'm rolling at 25 to 30mpg.....can't complain.
|
When I am not thrashing I am rolling at 25mpg as well... your point?
2 or 3 laps? Try how ever long you care to use it.
You say 160 is daft because even at 11mpg you can't do it.
So we have an overweight, overpriced, gas guzzling 4 cylinder that makes less power, is slower and would spin out in a violently deadly crash without it's huge rice wing that VW\Audi had to add as a cheap tacky body kit addon... where is the fun again?

^Please tell me the guy who drives a TT isn't throwing around stereo types about people who drive certain cars. Need we comment on the general stereo type around male TT drivers?

Interesting how you ignore the gas guzzling, overweight, underpowered truth.
The obnoxious ricer wing that ruins the rear lines of the TT is anything but small.
It is an aweful eyesore - and proof that Audi totally screwed up the design and engineering of the car - afterall the huge spoiler was added after the car went on sale and was already responsible for killing a huge number of hairdressers.
Incidently, hairdressers seem to enjoy running their hands through other men's mullets... that must surely mean something...

*Ooops it looks like I just have!

But you will still be inundated with "It's just shit - trust me" posts, PMs, postcards, sky-writing, emails, love letters and good old hate mail...
Facts are lost on the hater crowd..
