    Revs?

    Just curious as I think my car is using to much petrol.

    3000rpm @ 100kmh in 5th, is that normal or to high?

    Sounds about right.

    What sort of fuel you using?

    I noticed a considerable jump in fuel usage when i filled up on standard unleaded.
    and the car ran like crap until 2-3 tanks later.

    Awsome, thanks guys.

    I use BP Ultimate. I can't tell at the moment how many K's I get out of a tank because my speedo cable isnt conected thus my odometer doesnt work .

    The tank usaly lasts me about a week, week and a half.

    Any reves above 3500 seems to just drink the petrol like a camel.
