Hmm, according to my dodgy maths that works out that you're getting about 18 miles per gallon if you are using it correctly Budgie, as one bottle treats 250 litres of petrol (54.99 gallons). I know your Marina is an automatic and has oversize tyres but that still seems on the heavy side mate! :)

Think that would be for his MGB as I doubt he's covered 1000 miles in the Marina yet, not with that dodgy throttle pedal :lol:

I doubt that putting too much in will matter, just wastes it I suppose. But at least you can measure it out more accurately than with some of the other brands where you are recomended to put the whole bottle in with one full tank of fuel.
