hi,
know this doesnt have anything to do with you question,but im slightly worryed about ur MPG,
b4 i got done i used to run a old 3.5 litre V8 range rover.
that did 29 to the gallon and it was an auto.so off the top of my head i cant work out you MPG but,a 1.6 i would of thought should be in the l8 30 early 40,
right or rong?

well the way im working it out is 13L so that say 2 gallon and im getting 70 miles to that so 1 gallon =35 miles sounds about right to me
