Oh, he gets pretty good MPG already, or so Ive been told.
Re: Exxos's B-roll blog of nothing in particular
Yeah I seem to be driving with my foot to the floor continuously not really accelerating like I used to...
I half thought it could be that they have watered down the fuel in the summer compared to winter!!
I just ordered some of my favourite fuel additives from evil bay as well.. Does seem to give a bit more power..
Really busy with work over the next few weeks and not sure when I will get around to do oil change...

Not sure your MPG will be anything half decent with an air filter like that...
