Yeh, mines similar, not sure whether it's 60 or 65 litre tank. Toyota Celica GT4 turbo charged four wheel drive and about 20mpg.chewie_oo7 said:
Snag is its a JDM (Japanese Domestic Market) import and only runs properly on Shell Optimax. Last week it was £1.01p per litre!
...........so, at that price instead of filling up I only put £30 in 'cos a tankfull usually lasts 2 to 3 weeks. Now I'm going to have to try and fill up this week but at what price? A tankful normally costs around £50.

Optimax is by far the best petrol.......althogh Tesco are now trialing (in London and the SE for now) an even better petrol that is 99 RON so look out for that

Ooh, thanks for the heads up Nath, Optimax is currently the best for my car, but, even that is not quite up to the RON value needed. The GT4 JDMs are setup for 100RON in Japland AFAIK. The British version of the GT4 runs on any owld shyte.
When I first bought it I didn't know any better and put supermarket shyte in it. It ran very badly, plugs kept fouling up, no power, etc. For 20 months now I've ran it on nothing else but Optimax, nearest Shell garage is 10 miles from home, local Tesco 2 miles, but they don't even sell Ultimate yet.

Just thought i'd better fill up...need to go B'ham after work today and then home which would just about empty my tank...and read on another board that EVERY petrol station in central b'ham has run out
So out of the Five petrol stations in the town where i work only Two had any unleaded fuel. I've only ever used Optimax in my car since it was introduced so was fuming at having to put some "Total" shite in
Queued for 20 min...only two pumps working, both were super plus 97ron at least.
Two guys started squaring up and were on the verge of a full on fight as one thought the other had pushed in the queue Then he started filling his car and the other tried to wrestle the nozzle out of his hand Petrol all over the forcourt, police turned up (the manager had called them as soon as the guys started turning nasty) and arrested them both 
MADNESS.
Oh and at least half the people filling up were only putting 10 or so litres in

I had a standoff with a dickhead this morning
The biggest queue entering the filling station was at one end but i (and 2/3 others) came in from the roundabout at the 2nd entrance so basically the big queue had no choice but to occasionally let one of us through.
Anyhow, it was my turn and this guy WOULD NOT let me in - he sat shaking his head so i got out and asked him what the problem was and explained he had no choice but to let us through. He wasn't budging so i called him an awkard f**king tw@, got back in car and managed to edge him out the way.
In the meantime another car scraped the front of mine
taking some paint off his, but no damage whatsoever to mine - thank god!So now i've managed to get myself into some insurance shootout for doing nowt wrong!
Wish i'd stayed in bed this morning
