Telling the OP to not get a V8 because it 'may' have problems is like telling him not to buy a BMW, but get a Honda instead. For £7.5k you could get a very young Kia Sportage. But they are boring,...

At most 5%, but a lot of the premium fuels claim to have 0%.

Mind saying that, our higher MPG is nothing to be proud of as petrol currently stands at $9.47 a gallon.

65-70mph in the UK would see you getting 22-25mpg in the 4.4. We have vastly superior quality fuel here. Another reason why we don't see so many of the engine problems as over the pond. To give an...
