Good to see another one with a proper engine! Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!

Link to MPG page 37 http://www.freel2.com/forum/topic10566-540.html I have another comment on page 38
My mechanic told me to at least put some 98 in the car every now and then, as our 91 is crap. I use 98 or if I can't get it I use 95 and as a last resort use 91 as the Ford eco-boost engine can use 91, but have been using 98 for years now in my previous car and never had any fuel problems since using it. Previously with 91 the fuel filter HAD to be changed a few times other than simply routine. Had the car 18 years and now my mechanic has it. Actually I saw it driving the other day and I was a bit sad that I don't have it any more. Seat Ibiza 95. Even though you pay a lot more for 98 it seems to work out about the same economically at the end of the day, and you are looking after engine and filters better.

Other half had put E10 in the Ibiza and I didn't know about it. Had commented that the engine felt dead. I did try it a few times and it wasn't a very scientific test and it wasn't enough times to get an accurate result, it seemed that I got very poor milage from a tank. A trip from Sydney to Brisbane I used E10 on the way up and 98 on the way back. It seemed to cost more using E10. The engined felt a lot better on the way back.

The owners manual is very specific on fuel types which can be used safely.

Only just..... With our BS political climate on every single subject (& I thought howard was bad!). The government won't get a chance to deport me because I have a second passport! I will be gone, travelling around Europe till the day I kick the bucket! ABC RN today, thankfully we still actually get some real news at mid-day, Liberal Party corruption with misappropriation of funds! Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!
