So, I knew it would drink more, but it looks like my commute is costing £12 instead of £10 now and goes into the reserve tank 15 miles rather than just running to nearly empty. Coo.

This is a comparison to the 400 - didn't expect quite such a difference.

Worth it though!

you've also got to remember the Fuoco is not as aero dynamic as an MP3 but 10times better looking :mrgreen:

I'm using Shell V-Power these days. Used to be Texaco's premium.
