Thumbs down

I've been running my Sti8 Japanese spec in for just over a week now and man does it drink fuel...it's really quiet scary just how much it drinks (just wondering if there's a hole in the fuel tank?). I've been filling up with shell, but are any of the other fuels better?

Also, there this slightly annoying rattling noise coming from around the rear-view mirror area when going over bumpy surfaces...anyone else experiencing this?...hopefully will get it sorted when I take it in for first servicing
