Go further with Optimax..................... Advantages: Fuel Economy, Overall Engine Performance Disadvantages: Estra Cost over standard unleaded I have recently bought the new Honda Civic 2006 (1.8 SE I-Vtec). Since march the first I have filled up the tank about 4 times (using standard unleaded - mostly from Sainsbury's!!!) My father in law suggested trying out Optimax when I next fill up (he drives a BMW 320 SE). The main reason was to help maintain the engine - he suggested every 3 re-fills fill up with optimax. We both didnt envisage any performance enhancements by using optimax. However, ... ...computer notifies me that I have about 390 miles to my next fill up (after about 5 miles driving).
