   I have just put �10 of Shell regular in a virtually empty tank as a bit of an experiment.....
...A few miles back to the office and performance seems (very)slightly affected but my consumption seems to have risen dramatically?!?!?!?!
I reset the obc at every pitstop, and I usually see somewhere between 20 - 25mpg which is raised by 20 miles of motorway to around 30mpg.
Consumption today without motorway = 32mpg!!! (with standard throttle control behaviour)
Very strange........ but no complaints!!!

	Experiment results Car ignition failed to catch first time on two occasions from cold start which has never happened before. Everything else is fine. I won't be trying this experiment again and duely treated the beast to �60 of optimax this morning.
