I have an MG ZS with a 2.5L V6 oh dear!!!!have the butterflies started fluttering yet The RX-8 on the other hand I haven't tracked on normal fuel but it averages more like 17 MPG but I'm not sure if it will take advantage of the higher RON or not being a rotary engine. I guess it's possible but I still don't know as much about them as I do typical piston engines
the renesis motor has too many sensors to allow it to get near pre-ignition. my old 13b motor had 290 at the wheels and had to have super+. but once the boost got into double figures, the mpg went into singles :'(

The butterflies are still working as best I can tell Tongue Had the VIS motors out on Monday to check them over.

As for the Renesis, you are right, I've been reading some Turbo threads and that the pre-ignition has been mentioned... as the sell is going nowhere, I'm beginning to consider storing it and doing a long term turbo project with it Smile

For a weekend / leisure rider this might be a good option if done regularly (part of general service and maintenance) but for larger miles I would have thought using a fuel with cleaning agents would be more consistent with maintaining the fuel system. Granted it's not overly complicated on the likes of the Fazer I suppose...
