What happened to the 172 cup?
Nothing at the mo :(
Sold it, I dont use it anymore .. walk to work now.. By next car i mean in 3-4 years when i got a mortgate and dont live 15 mins from work lol
If I had a big commute, I'd probably do the same.
But I'd go from 2 tanks a month in the 172, to 1 tank in some slow, boggo spec, can't over take or have any fun in it, Polo.
Not worth the fun/speed loss.
Nothing at the mo :(
Nope i agree, But by the time i move il hopefully be a few miles away from work *30 tops* because my area is a shithole lol

I've never had the fuel light come on so I must have loads of fuel left then. Just found this picture from a couple of months ago (Hence the cheap V-power)
A few weeks ago. Glasgow to Telford and back. (took 2 tanks!)
to fill up a clio!

Ouch! It only costs me £55 from almost empty... But I rarely fill up all the way. If you only do half or even a third you save on a lot of weight and reduce your consumption

But do the extra trips to the petrol station offset the saving? (Unless it's en route of course)
Very handily its en route for me

Looking for 182
I fill my up to the brim every time, it seems pointless doing it less as it just means I'll have to stop sooner!

Surely no one is still using 98 ron?
Clio Sport 1.2 16V
Prices half of you guys are paying is stupid its £1.29 here where abouts you all from??
Mazda 3 MPS Mk1
Not trying to be argumentative but I could never honestly justify mapping for 95ron.
Not sure if my maths is up to this but here goes (*puts on flame suit and awaits correction :rasp…
Just for an example 98 is approx 0.05/L more than 95…and lets assume an average mapping session costs £200 (no idea if this is correct price for a 95 ron map? If it is as simple as a few clicks might only set you back 50 quids labour?! Also this is for us average people who can’t map themselves or have no access to RS tuner).
Therefore you would have to buy 4000 litres before you had saved £200 to cover the cost of the map. (Is that correct?)
4000 litres is 879 gallons, and at ~30 mpg that gets you 26370 miles.
So you’d have to drive 26k for a 95ron map to pay for itself. And potentially see worse MPG and performance along the way.

A few pence more and it is recommended.
On a clio/petrol related theme, this girl has a 1.2 phase 2 clio...

The megane pisses though what ever i put in it.
You can get fast efficient diesels though. I had a remapped 120d with somewhere around the 200bhp mark and it never did less than 52 mpg, up to 60. It was fast but still wasn't as fun as good petrol engine, it made up for that partly with sideways action on tap though!!!
My Clio does 36-40mpg and have found the gauge to be spot on.

98 RON really isn't much more expensive than 95 RON, so it seems pointless running anything less than what is recommended.
24 pound to fill up, love it much
st0ng :rasp
Mine runs ok on 95 ron, can't really tell the difference - it should have knock sensors to r****d ignition accordingly anyway? CR of 11:1 should be ok for 95 anyway, golf gti's etc have a high CR and turbo boost to contend with and they can run on 95, so unless you've got a higher than standard CR it should be ok on 95, might lose a bit of top end power like.
