I remember all the initial talk, but there has been no Follow up.

Heh, I presume you aren't talking about the engine used by Vauxhall cause in my experience they suck

Got 28mpg on my last fill up (using Optimax). Car is averaging about 25/26 mpg (running 1.1 bar boost). Engine has done 27k miles now and running sweet.

I got a 20 to 30 mile increase per tankful after fitting the ECOTEK.

I always did 280 to a tank - now get 300 minimum - 320 if I'm really lucky!!!! - UK 99MY on NUL

My only slight negative is the noise (like a horn!) under the bonnet - you get a few funny looks as you go past people on overrun!!!

I'm now using Optimax - which has made no change to consumption but the power....oh the power......

Blimey! I had forgotten that I fitted it!! Have to admit I have not seen a lot of difference. A 5% improvement on 23mpg only takes it to 24mpg A p*ss in the ocean when it comes to Scoobs! Still, it cant be doing any harm?
