As I just said in the other thread where you questioned your power:
If you have a manual car you will have 280bhp before and after facelift, it was only the automatic cars that were effected.

I have had the orange fuel light on a couple of times and I have never! been able to put anymore than £33.?? of Optimax in, it's about 77p a litre where I am.
Crazy amount, you can literally see the fuel gauge drop! normally caused by my heavy lead foot and steel leg but I accept that.
