A few weeks ago there was a debate with regards to SUL and will there be a mpg improvement. I have used it for the last 7 tanks.
On normal unleaded i was averaging about 18.8mpg. After allowing 3 tanks for the ecu to reset itself i am now averging 20.8 mpg. By my thinking thats an improvement of 2 mpg.
So if i fill with: unleaded. 13.2 gallons at £3.40 = £44.88
: SUL . 13.2 gallons at £3.59 = £47.39
It costs £2.51 extra for the SUL. But if i'm getting 2 mpg gallon more then 2 x 13.2 (gallons)=26.4 extra miles per tank of SUL which is a gain of about 1.27 gallons.
So 1.27 gallons of normal unleaded is £4.32 Take off the extra which SUL costs per tank (£2.51) and i have a gain of £1.81 per tank.
In conclusion i have a car with slightly better pickup, using better fuel for the engine and i'm saving money. The choice is yours!

Pete,
I agree, but I think the goverment are the ones that should be dropping the price. This is fact: £1000 goes to the treasury EVERY second thanks to us motorists. That my friend is daylight robbery when you consider the services we get in return[img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]..Blutes
