Mileage definition

THERE was a time when a car was thought to be worn out and worthless when it had done 100,000 miles or 160,000km, but technology has come a long way since those days and cars last much longer than they once did. While the average annual mileage on this car is low, it has still accumulated more than 250,000km, and that in my mind is high mileage. Cars don't wear out with time, its a function of kilometres covered, and this particular car has covered plenty of kilometres. It might still be a good car in good condition, but it's still well on its way to the end of the road. I would consider 100,000km or so to be low mileage on this car.

What fuel?

TRY regular unleaded and an additive such as Valvemaster, which you can buy at your local servo. You may find your engine will detonate with the 91 RON. If so, switch to premium unleaded and use the additive.
