I dont let mine drop below 1/4 either and it cost somethinhg like £50. Guess it will all depend on how much you are being charged for the fuel in the first place.

Is that Euro's mate? When I was at the Ring in June it was 1.49E for 98 Super and 1.60E for 102 but with the 1.1 £/E exchange rate the 98 super still worked out cheaper than uk prices. Was 1.43 for Vpower over here at the time, £1.45 for 102 over there and £1.35 for super

i paid 144.9 last night for v-power, put £60 in.

do you always fill back up when on 1/4 tank then?

i reckon it would have cost the best part of £85 to fill up, if its a 60 litre tank as 10L was pretty much £15 last night

I usually refill when on a 1/4 as the nearest 99/vpower for me is a 25 mile round trip.

I've only run it low once and regretted it as I had to insult her with 97 and some octane booster.

haha at "insult her"

luckily i have a shell garage 3 mile from me, otherwise its a 15 mile round trip or 25 mile round trip to the next nearest ones

is it always handy to have some octane booster in the car for them emergency times?

It depends what the cars been mapped on Matt. If its a standard ecu then you can get away with 97 but mine was mapped on Vpower so it doesnt do it any good running on a lower grade. Ideally, the next time I get it mapped i'll be dropping to 97 then adding some other mods to compensate for the lower quality. I'll still run vpower/99 when I can but it means i'm not so paranoid about having to find it.

Between 60 and 70 usually, if under a 1/4 and doing any spirited driving you risk fuel starvation on it and fuel surges iirc

99 cents a litre 95 ron in Lanzarote where the sun shines all year, they`ve got mountain roads, and a rally! Should think super is about 1.08 Euro litre. Not surprisingly I saw quite a few Imprezas for a small island.
