What size tank has it got?
I am pretty sure it's 45 Litres?
And, as you all know by now, I have yet to be wrong on anything!

I stand corrected. I was thinking of my old Type R which had a smaller tank.

Would that throw my 38mpg figures out 
Next thing you will be telling me is that my brake pads were specials at 30mm thick each and therefore I'm not doing as well as I thought
I'm SURE it's 45 Litres!!

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but aren't you all missing the point about this oil issue..?
From what I make of this oil report Halfrauds/Comma 'fully synthetic' oil is infact an inferior oil to a proper ester based synthetic. Which as far as I recall was the original question..! In other words you are not comparing like for like..FFS..!
Now whether you feel your car needs a true synthetic oil or not is clearly open to debate. All I know is that all the people/scoob specialists I've spoken to recommend a proper fully synthetic (infact as do most motor manufactures).
But hey, listen to PSL he knows all (except he dosen't know if his car has a 45ltr or a 60 ltr fuel tank or that his engine can operate beyond 2500rpm..!) he does give 'proffesionial' advice on atomic weapons though..!
That's where they got 'Pete and Dud' from..!

Pete,
it's ok!
You can thank me later for helping you find the error of your ways (and not letting you off the hook) as I know you like to be right on everything so it would be wrong of me not bring you back up to 100%

Well trolled Pete.
I'm sure you have celculated your fuel consumption from how much fuel you have added to the car rather than running the car dry each time and assuming it was 45L rahter than 60L.
That said, 36mpg must be driving downhill with a tail wind.
