    Turbo engines tend to be quite efficient, even when you're up them a bit, and particularly chipped ones as they don't run as rich as stock (this is one way they get a bit more power out of an engine).
    I know v6 is thirsty on fuel but if you enjoy the drive and the power some times you just dont care. lol
    Is your car chipped Manaz?

      You're absolutely spot on there. And again, when getting up it, the increase isn't that much anyway, so the temptation's always there. Just need to be sensible...

      No chip for me. I may have a Custom-Code flash done to it at some stage, but unless I go for aftermarket forced induction, there's not a lot more to gain in fiddling with the V6 unless I start spending serious coin.
      Nothing to see here...

          yep that's right - don't take my results as gospel, I've done a lot more k's on the BP and as I said I did some hard driving on V-Power. Having said that I've done some hard driving on BP too and it seems to use less than the other fuels when you drive it hard
